| | Bluegrass In The Schools | Grants| International Bluegrass Music Association | IBMA.Org |
 | | While the membership of IBMA appreciates all forms of music related to bluegrass, including mountain music, old-time, early country, Cajun, blues and a host of other styles which influenced the development of bluegrass music, we must give priority to funding presentations with a central focus on bluegrass music. |
 | | Live ensemble demonstrations are encouraged, along with a brief overview of the history and pioneers of bluegrass music, the instruments used and their role in a band, the vocal harmony structure used in bluegrass music and bluegrass music today. |
 | | IBMA's Bluegrass in the Schools Mini-Grants are made possible in part by a grant from The D'Addario Foundation for the Performing Arts with support from J. D'Addario & Company, Inc. and D'Addario Strings. |
