Virtual Concert Fundraising Series
The Music Over Miles mission is all about educating students about the music industry and encouraging to use their creativity in music to live a more fulfilling life. A number of independent musicians have volunteered their time to create a virtual concert series, in partnership with the Music Over Miles sponsors Pick Your Ticket®, Synapse Publishing & Entertainment® and We Get Music™.
Youtube Videos To Support Music Education
This video series was spearheaded by Spokesperson Andrew Salgado in Spring 2020 and sponsored by Synapse Publishing & Entertainment, LLC® It consists of an extensive series of videos which have been developed for use by Music Over Miles (not available any where else) and will be available free of charge to schools and students as well as the general public. In turn through YouTube monetization usage will create a stream of funding through which to develop new videos. These tools will aid with remote education initiatives, allow the Music Over Miles Programs to reach greater numbers of schools, and help these groups have a one stop shopping experience of excellent teaching tools – spurred on my the needs of remote education caused by the 2020 pandemic. The goal is to establish over 150 videos in it’s first year and then build going forward. The video categories range from music theory, to instrument specific (i.e. Piano, Drums) to industry education, to tips, tricks, and best practices in the music industry. Enjoy and please donate to help support this program moving forward.
