Music Education Advocacy
Groth Music takes an active role in advocating for music education though organizations such as The National Association for Music Education, The Minnesota Music Educator's Association, Springboard for the Arts, Minnesota Citizens for the Arts, and The National Association for Music Merchandisers. We believe that educating future musicians is important not only to the long term success of our business, but also to the development of well rounded individuals and communities more generally.
