Swallow Hill Music Association

As the country's second largest acoustic music school, we continued to see excellent growth in our school in 2024. Our portfolio includes group classes, private lessons and workshops, both online and in person, taught by 51 instructors who are also professional musicians. We continue to reshape our programming offerings to reflect the diverse music and the changing population of the denver metro area. By the end of the year, we had grown to offer 700 programs to over 2400 unique students to establish more than 37,000 musical connections.

To make music accessible across our city and state, we offer music education and programs in under-resourced communities. Our programming includes little swallows, early childhood education (ece) infused with music for preschoolers, where swallow hill partners with schools and organizations who have a majority of students that qualify for free and reduced-priced lunch and/or headstart support, and have high diversity among students. In 2024, our little swallows program was in 114 classrooms across 27 schools. Our outreach programming also includes workshops and interactive performances in k-12 schools, music therapy for veterans, and people living with developmental or mental health challenges. Across all outreach programming in 2024 we made over 86,000 musical connections.
