BSH helps remind us that music is an integral part of our personal, family, and community life \u2013 that the arts allow us to transcend real or perceived differences and disparities, uniting us all in powerful ways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am extremely proud to ensure Blues SchoolHouse continues to reach students in the City of Boston. It is so important that we offer affordable musical education programs and experiences for our kids. With this grant from Music Drives Us, thousands\u00a0of students will learn about the blues and continue to be inspired, entertained, and engaged\u201d stated Ernie Boch Jr. \u201cMusic Drives Us is supporting the past and the future of music with this important program.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
