About

Swallow Hill Music experienced another great year in 2018 with continued growth. Our operations are focused on three main areas: community outreach, concerts and classes. Visits across all program areas increased by more than 8%. Our community outreach programs have been a major area of focus for Swallow Hill in the past three years. Providing unique music education and experiences to under-served communities has grown from 2% of all program participants in 2015 to 27% in 2018. Our primary focus has been early childhood education music programming, and through our Little Swallows program, we are now in 19 schools, serving 1,200 students in 2018. This program consists of 30-minute classes once a week for the entire school year.
