A place where students can go beyond the chords and into the lives of the creators of the culture, the Education Center will offer a heart-to-heart, inspirational experience. As part of Marty Stuart’s Congress of Country Music, the Education Center is about passing it on. In Marty’s words, it will use music “as a gateway to learning, inspiring and cultivating creativity, critical thinking, and self-expression.” It will expose students to the spectrum of careers available within the music industry, and inspire them to follow their dreams and passion.

In partnership with the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville, programs and curricula will embrace the roots of country music. The Center plans to provide unique learning opportunities and enlightening musical experiences based on the enduring legacies of all varieties of music and its creators.

Drawing from the history of Marty Stuart and other notables from some of American music’s most revered genres, the Center will celebrate and share the entire creative process with students from across the U.S.
