Inspired by Charlie Worsham’s Follow Your Heart Arts, this program provides guitar lessons, songwriting skills, and cultural exploration for Mississippi Delta students. This program has expanded to free voice, guitar, drum, and piano lessons where students receive small class environments, free instrument, a free field trip, and a final Graduation Performance on the Museum’s Soundstage
Sponsored by the Cleveland Rotary Club, this program empowers high school students to become leaders through public speaking, event production, and community engagement. Members promote the Museum and demonstrate how music inspires and unites.
A week-long day camp for young musicians (ages 9-14) to explore Mississippi’s music heritage, learn recording techniques, and create a final production showcased online. Campers collaborate with industry professionals while building skills in songwriting, performance, and production.
GRAMMY Museum Mississippi has partnered with the Nissan Foundation to offer “Exploring the Soul of the Movement” to K-6 classrooms, bringing history and music together through an interactive, three-part experience.
First is the on-site kickoff, where a GRAMMY Museum educator will visit the classroom and provide a lesson on key historical moments and the music that accompanied them.
Next is a Day at the GRAMMY Museum, where the class will visit the museum for a deeper dive into music and history. The Museum will even cover up to $500 in travel expenses.
Finally, you’ll receive a classroom kit filled with ready-to-use lessons, materials, and interactive games designed to keep students engaged and learning.
