Education

Mount Vernon Music Youth Outreach programs bring clinics by expert brass and woodwind players into middle and high schools to help students improve their skills, and performances of musical stories with visual art and narration to elementary schools in East Texas.

Mount Vernon Music’s resident professional musicians and guest artists perform school programs which are tailored specifically to audience age. The performers engage the students through informal conversation, demonstrations and music, and may demonstrate how programs correlate to geography, historical events and other academic topics students are learning about in school.

The 2026-27 school outreach concerts include The Overtones for clarinet and string trio and The Town Musicians, a Musical Adventure for clarinet and string trio with narration, by Benedikt Brydern.
