Since 2007, musiConnects has offered free and low-cost music education programs to students in and around the Boston neighborhoods of Roslindale & Mattapan. We believe music education and live music are a right for all - not just the privileged few. ​

Our nurturing, student-centered curriculum emphasizes long-term mentorship; skill building on string instruments; and the development of transferable, extra-musical qualities such as patience, resilience, confidence, and self-expression. musiConnects' program centers 1:1 private lessons and small group classes that impart core chamber music values such as collaboration, community, and commitment. Our musiConnects students take part in a range of activities complementing their private lessons: concert celebrations, solo recitals, Showcase performances, All-Play experiences, guest artist workshops, and more. musiConnects students are connected with affordable, high-quality instruments, and many take part in additional enrichment opportunities, including local youth orchestras, summer programs, and mC², our teen leadership group.
 
For the 2024-25 school year, our offerings based at musiConnects' studio space in Roslindale Village include:

• weekly private lessons (30, 45, or 60min duration; 30 weeks per year)
• access to group classes or coached chamber music, as assigned (up to 30 weeks per year)
• performance opportunities (3+) on the mC concert season
• instrument loan (open to all students receiving tuition-free or sliding-scale instruction)

Sliding Scale Tuition Program

musiConnects believes that all people deserve the chance to learn and make music on a string instrument, regardless of their ability to pay. We expect that many of our participants will not pay any tuition at all. Others might choose a reduced amount, and still others might pay the full cost. The document below explains how to find the fee that works best for your family.
