Our Philosophy
We believe that music education is a powerful instrument in the
development of children in challenging social and economic conditions.
Inspired by 'El
Sistema' - created by Jose Antonio Abreu in 1975 in Venezuela - we
adapt elements of that method to today's China, its cultural and
educational heritage and the determination of children to excel in their
life.
We create and manage 'Schools of Orchestra', independent communities
where children are taught for free to play music. As they form an
orchestra from day one, they develop the discipline of working together,
learn to pursue excellence for a collective aim and to build their
self-esteem and attain recognition from the outer social circles.
As the orchestras become part of a way of life, they resonate pride, joy
and are a reason for advancement in the community which grows together
with them.
