Past Winners' Works Music For You invites students K to 12 to create a work of art while listening to the selections of music chosen and performed by Music For You. We want to encourage children to explore the language of music and to engage in creative expression through art. It’s all about the creative process and we want them to enjoy this: how the music allows one to move and to feel according to what you hear while also creating your own interpretation of the notes.
