BLUEBIRD MUSIC FESTIVAL
Boulder, Colorado - April 18th & 19th, 2026
The Bluebird School
What?
The Bluebird School opens its doors in Boulder, Colorado this fall. This will be a 100% free songwriting and performing program. Though the program focuses on the children of Colorado teachers, first responders, and mental health professionals, all may apply.
​
Proceeds from the Bluebird Music Festival fund the school. For additional information, please email futureartsfoundation@gmail.com.
Where/When?
The first and second semesters will take place at Broadway Music Studios in Boulder. Classes will take place, in five-week-long semesters, on Wednesday evenings from 5:30-7:30.
​
Semester one will be focused directly on the art and process of songwriting, Semester two will focus on performing as an ensemble (band) and perform at a Bluebird Music Festival event in the Spring!
Why?
The Future Arts Foundation 501(c)3, host of The Bluebird School, believes that with recent budget cuts to the arts, it is our duty to provide this opportunity to our children.
​
The Future Arts Foundation is also the host of the Bluebird Music Festival. For more info on the foundation, please visit www.fafcolorado.org.
