There are many great programs available to help keep musicians actively playing and inspire new musicians to start. Here are just a few examples... Save The Music 
Save The Music has proven that music education dramatically increases early brain development and improves students' overall academic performance. Due to budget cuts, many of our nation's public school music programs have been dropped or are in serious jeopardy. The goal of VH1 Save The Music is to support and restore music education programs in America's public schools. Click here for more information. This program is sponsored by NAMM.The Charlie Horse Music Pizza Experience 
Charlie Horse Music Pizza Experience has been developed by NAMM in Conjunction with KCET and a panel of educational advisors. The series is produced by the Charlie Horse Music Pizza Production Company Inc. in association with Golden Books Family Entertainment and KCET/Hollywood. The Charlie Horse Music Pizza is funded in part by PBS, CPB, NAMM: The International Music Products Association, and Remo, Inc. Each episode of The Charlie Horse Music Pizza includes original songs and a solid element of music education as a natural development of the story line. MENC, the Music Educators National Conference, serves as music education consultant to the series. Incorporated into the plot is musical fun including games, activities and crafts relating to the making of music.Stairway to Stardom 
Now in its 21st season, this 8-week summer music program is perfect for nonprofessional musicians who'd like to pursue a career in music.
