At the Mandarins, our core belief is that music education contributes greatly to the mental and social development of children. The mission of the Mandarins Music Academy is to "Give the Gift of Music" to as many children as possible in an equitable way. Music education and performance provide an emotional outlet of expression for the children that are needed more than ever. The Mandarins Music Academy began in 2016. While many were advocating for music education at the state and federal level, the Mandarins took a more grassroots, entrepreneurial approach

• Just start up band programs and help them grow.

So we began with one cute little elementary school program with 11 students at Ehrhardt Elementary School in the Elk Grove Unified School District. The program doubled in the number of schools and children served every year… until COVID hit. We are pleased to have reached an agreement with Elk Grove Unified School District to support band programs at all 43 elementary schools. This program provides music education to over 1,200 students (over 100 times more students than when we began!) The classes are taught by a Mandarins Music Academy Music Director. They are responsible for teaching two one-hour sessions per week either before or after school. The Music Director is supported by our Music Advisors. These MA's have an average of 30 years experience teaching in the classroom. They provide feedback and coaching on how the music directors can increase their effectiveness in the classroom. We are actively recruiting Music Directors to teach these elementary school programs who are music educators and musicians interested in a rewarding job that gives the gift of music to the next generation.
