New Music Education transforms what, how, and to whom, music education is delivered.What New Music Education is a rigorous and rewarding new approach to music-learning. Taking a page from successful systems from the past, it embraces contemporaneous music, instruments, and techniques, tapping into young people’s preexisting musical fluency. In turn, familiar styles provide a conduit through which students explore less familiar styles, and fundamentals. New Music Education simplifies terminology and upgrades methodology. It favors composition over improvisation, and participation over learning in the abstract. Goal-oriented, interdisciplinary, and collaborative projects propel students towards ambitious goals. How 
On one hand, tools and techniques that have revolutionized music production over the past several decades are brought into the classroom, and on the other, schools engage in "participatory partnerships" with regional arts organizations, such as orchestras and recording studios. The Concert Curriculum and Disc Curriculum are examples of partnership programs that provide a context for collaboration, and a delivery mechanism for New Music Education. To Whom Top notch music education is often limited to high-achieving or privileged young people. Given that a growing body of research indicates that students involved in the arts perform better academically than students not involved in the arts, with the greatest boost occurring for students from disadvantaged circumstances, New Music Education is designed to bring superlative arts learning to those with the greatest need and most to gain.
