Since 2007, musiConnects has offered free and low-cost music education programs to students in and around Boston. We believe music education and live music are a right for all, not a privilege for the few. Read more about our programs below, and fill out our interest form to participate!
Residency Programs take place in and around Mattapan, and are offered in partnership with community centers and schools. This program serves local students - who represent a diverse cross-section of the communities we serve - at no cost beyond a nominal $20 registration fee. All students in our Residency Programs receive the use of an instrument, private lessons (on violin, viola or cello), chamber music instruction, and the option of additional enrichment opportunities such as Harmony Strings (our large ensemble) and mC2 (our teen leadership group). musiConnects' unique curriculum emphasizes chamber music, offering students unique opportunities for development in the areas of leadership, collaboration, and communication. Current students in our Residency Program can find up-to-date schedules, resources, and program announcements in our Family Portal.
musiConnects' Roslindale Community Program (RCP) offers traditional private lessons in our studio space, conveniently located near the Roslindale Village commuter rail. Tuition is on a sliding-scale, and we make every effort to meet each student's financial need. Instruction is offered by Resident Musicians and guest artists, all of whom are experienced and attentive teachers. RCP students with an interest in chamber music may form small ensembles through Chamber Kids or attend our program-wide large ensemble, Harmony Strings. Fill out our interest form to match with an RCP instructor!
All musiConnects students are invited to participate in our large ensemble, Harmony Strings, as well as our community concerts, performance parties and social events. These events connect students and families through performance, creative play, and celebration.
