 Meet Jessica Catron, the passionate cellist, educator, and founder of Grow Music Missoula—our latest spotlight in the Rocky Mountain Women in Business Series!
What if music could be more than just performance—what if it could build confidence, spark joy, and nurture a sense of belonging? That vision is at the core of Jessica’s work as a teaching artist committed to youth-centered, community-driven music education. After years as a professional musician in L.A., Jessica followed her curiosity and calling to Montana, where she launched Grow Music in 2016. Today, her school offers strings education and mentorship with a focus on creativity, equity, and access for all. Whether through youth-led concerts, in-school programs, or the organic mentorship of older students becoming leaders, Jessica is building more than musicians—she’s building a movement. Her mission? To create a space where every young person feels seen, supported, and celebrated through music. Follow Grow Music Missoula to see how Jessica is shaping hearts and communities, one note at a time.

This is going to be awesome, friends!  Here's a little taste of what we will be performing, thanks to the amazing Danish String Quartet for providing their arrangements.
  For over four years, Grow Music was fortunate to have permission to use the work of Gary Blehm, aka Penmen, for our logo. We love this cartoon!  However, as we progress into the future with our little music school, we decided it was time to have our own logo design that we can use freely. We are excited to share what we came up with! Let us know what you think.   Let us know what you think! : )
