We work with schools, districts, conferences, community organizations, and youth programs. We serve classrooms, school assemblies, workshops, and special events.

We primarily work with K–12 students, and we adapt our programming based on age and grade level.

The great news is that BLL can be paid for using Prop 28 funding (especially if you have a voucher). There is also ELOP, ELAC, PTC (PTA), and grants that we can help you get. Although pricing is dependent upon your programming needs, we can help you find solutions to make BLL affordable for your school and program. 

Yes. Although we prefer to group students by development (K-3rd, 4th-6th, 6th-8th, High Schools), a school-wide assembly is a great way to bring Beats Lyrics Leaders to campus and engage a large group of students at one time.
