Side by Side Music

Learn Together, Play Together.

A joyful way for families and communities
to make music together—no experience
required.

Music wasn’t always something we watched.

For thousands of years, music was something families and neighbors made together.
Today, many people believe music is only for talented people or professionals.
Side by Side Music is helping bring communal music-making back.

participate

Whether you sing, strum one chord, keep a beat, or play the melody, everyone has an important role.
