YES, the project is a training space with a high preventive value in the dynamics of social change that, according to risk, degrade adequate growth in young people and children and we use music education and the collective practice of music as a strategy for integration and inclusion

Music Art cannot be evaluated based on score, since each child develops skills in different ways, depending on their environment, that is why we practice the impartation of value, affirmation, encouragement, and recognition in the child, not for what he achieves or It does, if not, because of what the child is and can do, we use symphonic structures as schools of social transformation and of course, we promote artistic excellence, developing in children the aesthetic sense of life. This is why YES it is "The art of living" and all this through music.

Through education, We are taking care of the future from its beginning, and then we will see new leaders, citizens of the world, new audiences for art, preservation of the ethical and aesthetic senses, implementation of high human values according to our contemporary life.

We have created several symphonic orchestras and choirs with children who have been invited by the White House,  in Washington DC

Our educational format is based on systematic thinking, and from childhood we develop children as multipliers of the training they receive, thus being able to guarantee the future leadership needed, for the expansion of the project, integration with different projects and organizations to enhance the different spheres of attention.

Presence in the community through impact events, integration to the el Sistema USA platform, steps to strengthen technology, and online education as an element of massification.
