"Music has a power of forming the character, and should therefore be introduced into the education of the young.” - Aristotle
“If children hear fine music from the day of their birth and learn to play it, they develop sensitivity, discipline and endurance. They get a beautiful heart.” - Shinichi Suzuki
The Presidio Brass has made education and outreach our primary musical endeavor. We are committed to education
through the communicative power of music, cultivating future audiences for the performing arts, and leaving a sustained
musical legacy. The Presidio Brass has developed unique programs for all age groups that can be tailored to suit any
educational or outreach requirement. For further information about our programs, please click on the link that best suits
