This revolutionary music education program, funded by generous individuals, foundations, and grants, aims to change the lives of children in underserved areas by providing them with high-quality violin, viola and cello instruction at no cost to caregivers. With a carefully constructed curriculum, excellent educators, and continuous caregiver involvement over the course of five years, young sprouts exercise both discipline and creativity. Early childhood music education has been shown to:-improve classroom behavior-extend attention span-strengthen motor skills and hand-eye coordination-give kids a jump-start on academic subjects, including math, language, and even science.

since august 2011, every tuesday when school is in session, conservatory voice artist-faculty member cody jorgensen has made the hour-and-a-half drive from omaha to the winnebago reservation near sioux city, bringing high-quality music classes to the students of st. Augustine mission school, the reservation's only private grade school. This program:-instills an appreciation of music through performance-teaches students how to read & write music-fills a much needed arts education gap in an underserved community-in subsequent years, the conservatory expanded the program to include recorder and guitar lessons, adding a second ocm artist-faculty member, andrew stickman, as well as providing instruments.
