​“It’s a very effective method. Orchestra is
a metaphor for life. Everyone contributes
to the outcome, love and respect for the art form, and ability to work well with others.
I’m a total convert. I wish every child had
​access to the El Sistema program."

A student-centric focus on music education is at the heart ​

​“In watching Z progress over the last 3
years, she's gone from a rather timid,
quiet singer to now showing great
confidence (upright posture, smiling, etc.)
She doesn't hesitate to belt out a song at
any given moment! That confidence can't
help but to spill out into other facets of the
kids lives. Thank you for providing this for
our children — we notice it and appreciate
​all that you've done… Thanks a million!"
