Music in Schools Today offers courses in world music and music used as therapeutic intervention, with continuing education credits from San Francisco State University. We also offer a variety of training workshops for artists and music therapists.

Putumayo Music Education Director Emi Gittleman teaches how to integrate cross-cultural music into the classroom curriculum, and MuST Achieving Through Music program founder Deb Bradway teaches how to use percussion as intervention for at-risk youth.

As part of the Achieving Through Music program funded by San Francisco's DCYF grant, MuST held a five-day artist training workshop in August of 2003. The first day was led by Arthur Hull of Village Music Circles, who taught drum circle facilitation. Two other days were led by Christine Stevens of Remo, Inc. who taught therapeutic intervention techniques. The rest of the time was taken in private meetings.

Dr. Larry Scripp was in attendance to help evaluate the program. Larry and Meg met with Deborah Mintz of the San Francisco Opera Guild to talk about a possible collaboration with them to produce "Othello" with residents of Juvenile Hall. We formed a curriculum committee headed by Larry and Christine, staffed by our local team.
