Berklee College of Music and Little Kids Rock announced a collaboration with the The New York City Department of Education to expand the district’s Modern Band music program to 60,000 K - 12 students in 600 schools over the next three years. Berklee and Little Kids Rock are contributing teacher training, a Modern Band online and classroom-administrated curriculum, and thousands of new musical instruments.
