ROAM’s mission is to provide arts education, musical performances, and playing opportunities for audiences and musicians of all ages, means, and abilities while supporting the preservation of American music and its roots. Since 1999, ROAM’s teaching artists incorporate the themes of literacy, math, science, self-determination, tolerance, and music enrichment into music workshops and residencies to help individuals of all ages and backgrounds meet wider goals in education or personal development.
