Craft Music has been an invaluable partner in providing high-quality music education to our students. As a small, rural school district, Maxwell faced significant challenges in filling a music position. After months of searching without success, we partnered with Craft Music to ensure our K-8 students still had access to meaningful music instruction. Through their 1:1 online music lessons, Craft Music has delivered engaging, personalized instruction that has enriched our students’ learning experiences. Their commitment to excellence and flexibility has allowed us to maintain a strong music program despite staffing difficulties. We are grateful for their partnership and highly recommend Craft Music to any school looking for an innovative and effective solution to music education.

About the Partnership
At Craft Music, we believe that every student deserves access to quality music education, regardless of location or resources. By partnering with state-funded programs, we provide flexible, online music lessons designed to enrich students’ learning experiences and foster creativity through music.
Craft Music is proud to have an ORI number and to collaborate with charter schools and state-funded homeschooling programs. Our certified status allows us to provide comprehensive, customizable music instruction that aligns with state standards and educational requirements. We offer flexible lesson schedules, seamless integration into academic curricula, and direct coordination with parents and school administrators to support a holistic educational experience.
One of our recent partnerships demonstrates the impact we can have in creating new opportunities for music education. We collaborated with a district that faced significant barriers to offering comprehensive music programs. By providing online instruction in instruments such as piano, guitar, voice, and woodwinds, we transformed the district's approach to music education.
The results have been remarkable. Students who had limited or no previous access to music lessons now enjoy personalized, one-on-one instruction from experienced teachers. Our flexible scheduling integrated smoothly into the school’s academic day, allowing students to develop foundational skills, discover new musical interests, and build confidence—all while meeting the educational and logistical needs of the school. Our Offerings for State-Funded School Programs Craft Music is ready to partner with schools and districts across California and beyond.
