Music Plus is a longstanding partnership between the BGSU College of Musical Arts and Toledo Public Schools (TPS). For 10 weeks, on Wednesday evenings in the fall and spring semesters, approximately 30 TPS students travel to the Bowling Green campus for free supplemental music instruction.The evenings are segmented into private lessons taught by BGSU undergraduate and graduate students, ensembles led by a graduate student or a faculty member and other musical activities. This past fall included a piano lab taught by a graduate student; other semesters have included composition. The program culminates in a public performance in Bryan Recital Hall with the TPS students playing alongside BGSU students. In the spring, they often perform short pieces composed by students in the Music Plus program.
