LEADERSHIP NETWORK

The Music Center established the Leadership Network to foster greater contact and communication with the leaders of our partner schools and school districts. The purpose is to celebrate the arts and share ways we can strengthen arts education for the students we serve. The Leadership Network also provides opportunities to learn from colleagues about exciting arts education programs in the Los Angeles County. These events serve as networking opportunities with members from other schools and districts, arts education professionals, and teaching and performing artists. In addition, members of the Network will receive regular Music Center updates, with arts education news, as well as information on valuable resources for administrators and educators at your school.
