Suburban Music School provides music instruction in Chester, PA. Programs take place at the Learning Tree Daycare Center, the Chester YWCA, Toby Farms Elementary School and Chester Eastside Ministries. Each week, faculty members teach music classes to children in preschool and after school programs as an enrichment activity. Children learn fundamental music skills and, through this process, develop self-esteem, speech, fine and gross motor skills. Private instruction is offered at some of the centers for selected instruments. A registered music therapist is available to work with children who have
special needs. The Chester Music Program is made possible through generous contributions from individuals and foundations.

| Visiting Artists Program |
The Visiting Artists Program has provided music enrichment for public and private schools since 1990. Suburban Music School collaborates with Delaware County schools in a series of presentations, workshops and concerts. Suburban Music School faculty members and guest artists give their presentations at the schools. All Delaware County schools are encouraged to apply to be part of this outreach program.
The Visiting Artists Program is made possible through the 5 County Arts Fund, a Pennsylvania Partners in the Arts program of the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency. It is funded by the citizens of Pennsylvania through an annual legislative appropriation, and administered locally by the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance. The Pennsylvania Council on the Arts is supported by the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency. The 5 County Arts Fund is also supported by PECO, An Exelon Company. For additional information about these grants, visit the Cultural Alliance online at: http://www.philaculture.org.
