Boulder MUSE is a free music education program designed for under-resourced K-8 students in Boulder County.
The mission of Boulder MUSE is to allow children to experience the joy and pride of becoming proficient on an instrument and performing with a musical community while instilling self-esteem, responsibility and respect for self and others by providing free instrumental and choral music education to students in elementary through middle school in Boulder County.
Founders Elisa Snyder and Mari Madeira were inspired by El Sistema, an initiative that began in Venezuela in 1975 and has grown throughout the world. Mari and Elisa saw the need for such a program in Boulder County. In the spring of 2015 they secured their 501c3 and began the program that fall at Columbine Bilingual Elementary, later adding Uni Hill Bilingual Elementary. MUSE taught online for over two years due to the pandemic and has proudly returned to in-person lessons through the Family Learning Center as of 2022.
