Music Service Learning (MSL) – Fall 2026
Paid Remote Internship | Semester-Based
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Music Service Learning (MSL) is the nonprofit branch of F-flat, an education-focused organization dedicated to supporting music educators, students, and creative communities through innovative resources, partnerships, and professional learning.
As the nonprofit arm of F-flat, MSL focuses on service-learning, educator support, and access-driven initiatives that directly benefit teachers, students, and community partners.
