El Sistema-inspired programs

El Sistema-inspired programs are community-based music education programs in several countries inspired by the system of music schools in Venezuela known as El Sistema. Founded in 1975 by José Antonio Abreu, a Venezuelan educator, musician, and activist, El Sistema is built on the belief that the collective playing of music from an early age fosters personal growth, artistic expression, discipline, teamwork, and social integration.
