PREPARING YOUTH FOR COLLEGE & CAREER THROUGH MUSIC
With broad, first-hand experience in the field of urban music education, college and career readiness for underserved populations, ASHBY ANDERSON ENTERPRISES is able to offer an objective, outside perspective that is necessary for effective program design for urban music education.
While public school music programs deteriorated, we developed an “out of the box” solution to urban music education. Through our efforts in 2008, the Richmond Youth Jazz Guild became the unprecedented solution for many parents and students seeking an excellent service that could prepare boys and young men of color for college auditions and scholarship opportunities in Richmond, VA.
