This partnership is a continuation of the work that Propeller, The Black Keys and Save The Music started last year, when, in conjunction with other local and national partners, Save The Music invested in music education programs in seven North Mississippi and Delta schools. Additionally, The Black Keys helped raise more than $40K for one of the schools in Holly Springs. Each school received full packages of instruments and equipment for their music classrooms along with programmatic support for music teachers—including professional development, impact measurement and evaluation services from Save The Music’s program team for a ten-year period. This coming fall, the program is expanding to fourteen more schools across Mississippi.
