Music education and institutions
The Vermont Symphony Orchestra, founded in 1934, was the first state-funded orchestra in the nation. The Vermont Youth Orchestra has come to prominence since the mid-1990s under the direction of composer/conductor Troy Peters. The Consortium of Vermont Composers was formed in 1988 to promote composers of classical music from the state; the Consortium calls Vermont the "most composer-friendly state" in the country.

Vermont has a program entitled the Vermont MiDi Project, a non-profit program that encourages young students from elementary school to high school to compose music and submit what they have written to a diannual competition. if selected, the compositions are performed by the Vermont Symphony Orchestra. This program makes use of Sibelius notation software, which allows people to compose music electronically.
