Expanding Innovative Musical Learning Program for Greater Boston Pre-K Centers
Team: Dennie Palmer Wolf
In summer 2024, WolfBrown embarked on a new partnership with New England Conservatory (NEC), a renowned Boston-based music conservatory which educates and trains musicians of all ages from around the world. NEC staff and WolfBrown’s team of researchers, led by Principal Researcher, Dr. Dennie Palmer Wolf, will work with early childhood music educators from NEC and a network of Boston childcare centers to strengthen and expand the design of a pilot project that provides compelling early music educational programming in Greater Boston. The resulting proposal will position NEC to attract long-term support and endowment for the program.

New England Conservatory’s Entrepreneurial Musicianship Program
Team: Tom Wolf and Joe Kluger
New England Conservatory (NEC) engaged Tom Wolf and Joe Kluger of WolfBrown to assist in the development of a new Entrepreneurial Musicianship (EM) program designed to provide students and alumni with essential personal and professional non-musical skills training. NEC believes that performance training programs alone, for even the most talented artists, will not be sufficient in today’s world to prepare musicians to assume responsibility for creating their own career opportunities.
The resulting EM program contains two primary components:
- A Professional Development program, which provides training to undergraduate and graduate students, alumni, and faculty to support their chosen musical careers.
- A complimentary Career Development program that will give NEC students and alumni tools to identify, launch, and manage a career that matches their skills and interests, meets their professional and personal needs and expectations, and can be modified as those needs and/or interests change over time.
