Partnership opportunities

What could we build together?

NOVA Performing Arts develops reciprocal partnerships that create more opportunities for young musicians, emerging educators, and the organizations that support them.

Percussion educators and young musicians working together

A reciprocal approach

Shared strengths. Shared educational impact.

Every partnership begins with a common objective. NOVA brings youth programming, percussion expertise, instruments, and organizational structure. Our partners contribute the people, places, relationships, or resources they are best positioned to share. Each collaboration is shaped around mutual benefit and practical capacity.

Ways to partner

Several paths. One shared purpose.

01

Institutional instructional partnerships

Collegiate studios and other high-level ensembles help connect advanced performers and practical resources to NOVA 8. In return, NOVA provides structured, mentored teaching-development opportunities through the NOVA 8 Teaching Fellowship.

02

Rehearsal home partnerships

Schools, universities, churches, arts organizations, and community facilities can help provide a safe, consistent place for NOVA 8 to learn, rehearse, and grow.

03

School and educator partnerships

NOVA works alongside school programs through student referrals, schedule coordination, clinics, educator dialogue, and supplemental instruction that helps students return stronger.

04

Artistic and ensemble partnerships

Guest artists and leading ensembles can contribute clinics, coaching, open rehearsals, collaborative experiences, and connections to the wider percussion community.

05

Community access partnerships

Youth-serving and cultural organizations can connect NOVA with students and families, host introductory experiences, and help reduce barriers to participation.

06

Program and event partnerships

Businesses, foundations, civic groups, and professional partners can support instruction, student access, operations, Percussion Playground, and other shared community experiences.

Start with a conversation

The strongest partnerships are designed together.

If your organization develops performers, serves young people, provides space, supports the arts, or wants to invest in music education, we would welcome a conversation about what we could build together.
