The Quincy Jones Musiq Consortium

The Quincy Jones Musiq Consortium (QJMC) is an organization developed by Quincy Jones to promote access to music education for children.[1] The first consortium summit was held in 2009.[2]

The Executive Director of the QJMC is Madelyn Bonnot.[3]

Part of the group's activity is creating music education curricula. The QJMC received a $20,000 grant from the Music Empowers Foundation to develop such a program for New Orleans-area schools.[4] The group is also working on a curriculum of American music for school districts in Syracuse, New York.[5]
