Performing Arts Education, Training and Mentoring

Bring Back The Music

Bring Back The Music is an innovative performing arts educational program that targets underserved and disadvantaged students. Our program provides the framework under which professional local, regional and national level performing artists and performance support personnel (musicians, singers, choreographers, rappers, agents, managers, sound & lighting engineers, costume, hair & make-up artists) can teach, mentor and interact with aspiring young performing artists. Our mission is rooted in the belief that all children regardless of their socio-economic status are entitled to a quality performing arts education. To achieve this, we assembled some of the area's top teaching artists to provide a level of quality instruction not available in the community. These artists bring a background in music, performance, dance and production. All are professional artists in their fields and believe that without the offering of performing arts education, low-income and disadvantaged students are denied an essential component within their overall educational development.

Since 2010, Bring Back The Music (BBTM) has provided instruction and mentoring in the performing arts to low income and marginalized students across a variety of settings including after-school programs, traditional day schools, and summer workshops, throughout metropolitan Oklahoma City and eastern Oklahoma County. We tailor our curriculum to meet the individual needs and interests of each student. This is achieved through a combination of individual assessments, private lessons, ensemble participation, and engagement with our distinguished faculty and visiting artists. Our approach ensures a nurturing environment where students can explore their musical talents, enjoy collaborative play, and enhance both their musical and teamwork skills.

Expanding Access to Bring Back The Music Programs for Under-served Youth and Developmentally Delayed Adults and Seniors

Bring Back The Music (BBTM) is committed to ensuring that the transformative power of the performing arts is accessible to all individuals, regardless of age, ability, or socioeconomic background. To expand access to our programs for under-served youth and for adults and seniors with developmental delays, we are adopting a multifaceted approach that prioritizes outreach, partnerships, accessibility, and sustainability.

To serve developmentally delayed adults and seniors, BBTM is designing inclusive programs that focus on sensory-friendly environments, adaptive instruments, and curricula tailored to participants’ cognitive and emotional needs. We will work closely with disability advocacy groups, residential facilities, senior centers, and family caregivers to develop engaging programming that supports social connection, emotional well- being, and lifelong learning. Programs will be delivered both on-site and in community-based settings, with trained teaching artists and therapists who understand the unique needs of neurodiverse populations.
