The Songbook Academy® Partners

There are a variety of ways to support the future of the Songbook Academy, which has now impacted aspiring young singers from across the country for over sixteen years. Since the program began, over 500 students have experienced the Songbook Academy, with alumni performing in venues including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, the Kennedy Center and beyond. This program would not be possible without the generous support of our community partners, sponsors, Mentor Champions, Guest Mentor Impact supporters and more.
