Since 2016, Kean University and Community Access Unlimited’s Academy of Continuing Education (ACE) have partnered to create powerful, inclusive music experiences for and with the community. Our concerts feature collaborative performances by ACE participants, Kean music education majors, faculty, alums, and K-12 public school partners—coming together to share original songs, creative instrumentals, and joyful music-making.

This year’s On School Time concert showcases our work in rock band, percussion, and group composition. Audiences can expect high-energy performances, heartfelt lyrics, and music that celebrates creativity, inclusion, and community connection.

Join us as we demonstrate how music brings people together, builds confidence, and creates lasting bonds—on stage and beyond.
