Young People Are Speaking To Us. Are We Close Enough to Hear Them?

Dalouge Smith, Founder and Executive Director, The Creating Abundance Collaborative; Co-founder and CEO, The Lewis Prize, 2018–2024

12-03-2025

I’d been missing the presence and perspective of young people in these gatherings dedicated to arts education, young people’s wellbeing, and community health through the arts. When young people were present, it was most often as performers, and occasionally as panelists alongside adults.

Throughout these events, I had been wondering, “How is it that we continue to position young people as objects of conversation, and not the subject?”

An Upstate New York Community Connects through Myanmar’s Music

Andrew Borkowski, Director of Education, Buffalo String Works

12-03-2025

During the 2022-23 academic year, Buffalo String Works began asking the question: “How can we be more intentional about the music we’re asking our students to learn and perform?” Over the course of attempting to answer this question, the BSW Music Library Development Project was born—resulting in the commissioning and composition of a brand-new work for student string orchestra: “Aka” by Wai Hin Ko Ko.

“Giftedness Is Just Access in Disguise”: Lessons in Flourishing Together

Jee-Hoon Krska, Founder/Executive Director, Keys 2 Success, Newark, New Jersey, USA

11-05-2025

The summer of 2025 brought a harsh financial reality. Like so many nonprofits in the United States this year, we lost more than 50% in foundation funding—money we’d counted on to hire adult teachers for our summer programming. We couldn’t bring in the experienced instructors who had anchored our summer camps in previous years.

This loss created an unexpected void that my teaching team and I didn’t know how to fill. To our surprise, our Urban Fellows and Junior Fellows—a group of our older and emerging student leaders—stepped up to fill the void.

The Power of Youth Voice

Ayde Diaz, El Sistema USA 2025 Youth Ambassador; YOLA Torres Student

11-05-2025

An instructor once told me, “When we listen to our students, we remember why we’re here. Their perspective makes us better.” That was the moment I realized our learning experiences aren’t a one-way street. In programs that truly value our voices, the impact extends far beyond the classroom. It reaches families, neighborhoods, and entire communities.

New Guiding Pillars Amplify Our Collective Voice

Elizabeth Moulthrop, Executive Director, El Sistema USA

09-03-2025

Nearly two decades ago, a handful of United States programs that were inspired by El Sistema in Venezuela opened their doors. Since then, El Sistema USA® has become a network of more than 150 organizations—the largest such network in the world. Our members represent a diverse array of music programs from dozens of states, as well as international programs in adjacent countries from Canada to Haiti. Given the diversity and breadth of our network, it’s reasonable to ask: What is the common thread between these programs? And why does this collective work matter? Watching and helping this coalition grow and evolve, we have been able to isolate a few distinct qualities that unite us and affirm the power of our collective voice.

Reggae Roots at Sistema Toronto – Jane Finch

Kelsy Vivash, Marketing & Communications Manager, Sistema Toronto

06-04-2025

Working in this field has shown us how a diverse, inclusive curriculum can activate a student’s passion and sense of self. At Sistema Toronto, our goal is to have repertoires that represent our students and the communities they live in. With that in mind, Sistema Toronto invited Juno-nominated reggae artist Jah’Mila to work with students at our Jane Finch Centre this March as part of a months-long exploration of reggae music titled Reggae Roots. Our students spent January and February preparing for three days of workshops led by Jah’Mila and a culminating concert.

GUEST PERSPECTIVE
The Courage to Create: Helping Students Sing through Fear

Meagan Mayne, Founder, Meagan Mayne Voice Studio

06-04-2025

Singing (really, any artistic act) is an act of vulnerability. Your voice is you—your breath, your body, your emotions, your story. When you sing, you offer all of that up; even after a lifetime of performing, I still feel that fear when I step on stage.

If performing can be scary for us educators, how much scarier must it be for teen students still discovering their identity—for whom “fitting in” can feel like the most important thing?

Incorporación de los principios maoríes a un programa inspirado en El Sistema en Aotearoa (Nueva Zelanda)

Sam Winterton, cofundador y coordinador de divulgación del Sistema Whangarei-Toi Akorangi, Nueva Zelanda

04-02-2025

El mundo disfruta de la cultura maorí a través de su vívido kapa haka (actuaciones de canto, danza y canto) y el famoso haka en los partidos de rugby de los All Blacks. No hay piupiu, poi ni taiaha (ropa, comida o armas tradicionales) en el Sistema Whangarei-Toi AkorangiEn el Sistema Whangarei-Toi Akorangi, en el extremo norte de Nueva Zelanda, los principios maoríes se entretejen silenciosa y perfectamente en el tejido de nuestro programa. Crean los cimientos de un sinfín de posibilidades.

El Gobierno de EE.UU. canceló un concierto juvenil. Los veteranos militares lo cancelaron.

Rishab Jain, percusionista y estudiante de bachillerato

04-02-2025

Cuando me enteré de que la organización Arco de Equidad presentaba un concierto sinfónico de viento y un curso intensivo de aprendizaje que reunía a jóvenes músicos infrarrepresentados y a la USMB, me quedé extasiada. Era la oportunidad de estar al lado de mis ídolos, las personas a las que había admirado desde que los descubrí. Me preparé como nunca. Y, finalmente, el duro trabajo dio sus frutos: Me seleccionaron. Fue surrealista; por finla oportunidad de actuar con mis héroes, mis mentores, mis amigos.

La emoción creció durante semanas... hasta el 24 de febrero, cuando recibí un terrible correo electrónico que decía: "De acuerdo con las recientes Órdenes Ejecutivas que afectan a la programación relacionada con la DEI para las agencias federales, la Banda de los Marines ha recibido instrucciones de cancelar nuestra colaboración".
