Lend an Ear! has been Monadnock Music's primary education program since 1986.

During the school year, Monadnock Music’s Lend an Ear! Program serves about 2,000 elementary school students in 22 schools of the Monadnock region. This program began twenty-two years ago to supplement the limited music offerings in area schools, and to bring small groups of musicians who are also gifted communicators into each school to teach basic concepts of rhythm, pitch, tempo, harmony, and musical teamwork. The programs give students a chance to see that musicians are real people, not distant images on a screen. Small group size and maximum interchange between students and musicians is key.
