Music Memory

Have your school join the Prescott Pops Symphony Music Memory program!

Our annual concert will be held on Thursday, May 8th, 2025 at 9:30am & 11:30am at the Jim and Linda Lee Performing Arts Center.

Music Memory is an annual cultural enrichment music program for elementary school children designed to enhance understanding and appreciation of classical music.  It is targeted primarily for grades 4-5, and is open to all schools in Yavapai County.  The Music Memory concert itself is performed by the Prescott Pops Symphony Orchestra in the Yavapai College Performance Hall to provide a true concert experience.  There is no charge to the schools for this program as both the performance hall and orchestra donate their resources.

Each year the pieces to be performed are selected by the Prescott Pops Symphony music director, student booklets (listening guides) written, and made available to each student for classroom study with their music teacher or home educator.  This student booklet provides information concerning the layout or seating chart of the orchestra and introduction to each instrument and instrument family.  It also provides grade-specific information on each composition, the composer, and musical themes.  Concert manners and listening guides, a concert-oriented word list worksheet, and a word search are also provided to enhance learning and interest.  Because of these booklets and the hard work of the teachers, students come well prepared to enjoy not only the music, but the entire performance experience.

You can give back to the music in our community by supporting the Prescott Pops today. To learn more about donation to the Prescott Pops and Music Memory, visit the link below.
