Miami Music Project

Miami Music Project's Children's Orchestras meet five days weekly for three hours daily in seven partner Chapter Schools across Miami-Dade: Miami Gardens, Liberty City, Miami Springs, Miami Beach, Little Havana, Little Haiti, and Homestead. Students receive two hours of music classes, homework help, and snacks. Group classes and ensemble rehearsals include instruction on flute, clarinet, oboe, trumpet, trombone, violin, cello, viola, double bass, and orchestral percussion, amounting to over 360 hours of musical programming annually.
