*A minimum of 15 music class periods per week must be devoted to Music and the Brain lessons across grades. Each school year, Kindergarten classes must be scheduled twice weekly. All other participating grades should have music class once or twice weekly. The keyboard equipment and curriculum materials will not be ordered until we verify the schedule. Partner schools receiving the MATB grant must meet schedule requirements each academic year providing MATB with a copy of the music schedule promptly at the start of each school year. All participating classes must be part of an annual schedule; semester-only scheduling of classes is ineffective and strictly prohibited.

**A full list of cities and metro areas that are considered for full grant status can be viewed here.

If your school does not meet the grant requirements, you can:

  • Find a funding partner to bring Music and the Brain to your area
  • Acquire the program

Grants are considered on a case-by-case basis. Partial grant coverage varies and is dependent on individual qualifications. Special considerations are given to schools with Title I assistance and those who serve students in at-risk communities.
