Summer Music Partnership Program

Festival of International Folk Music

Festival of International Folk Music

Since 1973, the Summer Music Partnership Program (SMPP) has provided tuition-free dynamic musical experiences for young children from New York City day care centers, preschools, Head Start centers, NYC EarlyLearn programs, NYC 3-K and Pre-K for All classrooms, and social service agencies. Every summer, the program provides opportunities for expressive age-appropriate singing, instrument playing, movement, artistic expression, and an increased understanding of the elements of music. The program strongly emphasizes collaboration, cultural awareness, and the development of each child’s musical understanding.
