Maya Lin School

Inspiring minds. Changing lives.

​“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."
Caterina M.
Teacher and Bay Area Music Project Parent
