Our Leadership Initiative Designed For Early Success

VMA outreach concerts are now open to elementary and middle school instrumentalists. And for just the nominal cost of joining the Junior Program ($10), kids beginning as young as 5 years old and up until high school, can perform in VMA concerts and earn presidential recognition. It’s the VMA’s radical idea of focusing on leading with love, deeply honoring their commitment to practice and charitable giving.

Music Teachers, your students can get recognized for their outreach work in your own community! We have a simple online Concert Attendance Report to make volunteer recognition easy and accessible across the country.

When high school rolls around, they’ll have a good start understanding the love you take is equal to the love you make.
