The School of Music hosts nearly 100 of Minnesota's finest high school musicians as part of the MMEA All-State Band and Jazz Band Camp.

The program is the first of its kind outside of Jamaica seeking to recognize and enhance the study of reggae.

In the class Music Outreach in Healthcare Settings, taught by Professor Michael Silverman, music students play for patients at the University of Minnesota Health Clinics and Surgery Center. These students are learning about the experience their music can create for other people in a non-concert setting.

Professors Scott Currie, Akosua Addo, Paul Shaw, and Michael Kim welcomed to campus world-renowned Jamaican artists and delegates.
