El Sistema, a Model for Music Education Snow Pond Center for the Arts is committed to making music as accessible as possible in our community and we are looking at successful models from around the world, such as El Sistema. The transformative power of music is sweeping the world through the inspiration of Venezuela’s revolutionary El Sistema. Founded in Venezuela in 1975 by Dr. Jose Antonio Abreu, El Sistema is a tested model of how a music program can both create great musicians and dramatically change the life trajectory of needy children, deeply benefitting youth from all backgrounds who participate. It now teaches music to more than 500,000 of Venezuela’s most vulnerable children, and hundreds of thousands more young people around the globe. El Sistema is not a replicable program or pedagogy, but an inquiry into the most effective ways to achieve youth development goals through intensive investment in the positive social impact of the ensemble. In 2009 Dr. Abreu was awarded the TED prize for founding, growing and developing the National System of Youth and Children’s Orchestras and Choirs in Venezuela. Here are excerpts from his remarks upon accepting the award: Since I was a boy, in my early childhood, I always wanted to be a musician, and, thank God, I made it. From my teachers, my family and my community, I had all the necessary support to become a musician. All my life I’ve dreamed that all Venezuelan children have the same opportunity that I had. From that desire and from my heart stemmed the idea to make music a deep and global reality for my country. From the very first rehearsal, I saw the bright future ahead. … I had received a donation of 50 music stands to be used by 100 boys in that rehearsal. When I arrived at the rehearsal, only 11 kids had shown up, and I said to myself, “Do I close the program or multiply these kids?” I decided to face the challenge, and on that same night, I promised those 11 children I’d turn our orchestra into one of the leading orchestras in the world. Two months ago, I remembered that promise I made, when a distinguished English critic published an article in the London Times, asking who could be the winner of the Orchestra World Cup. He mentioned four great world orchestras, and the fifth one was Venezuela’s Youth Symphony Orchestra. Today we can say that art in Latin America is no longer a monopoly of elites and that it has become a social right, a right for all the people. In its essence, the orchestra and the choir are much more than artistic structures. They are examples and schools of social life, because to sing and to play together means to intimately coexist toward perfection and excellence, following a strict discipline of organization and coordination in order to seek the harmonic interdependence of voices and instruments. That’s how they build a spirit of solidarity and fraternity among them, develop their self-esteem and foster the ethical and aesthetical values related to the music in all its senses. This is why music is immensely important in the awakening of sensibility, in the forging of values and in the training of youngsters to teach other kids. https://www.ted.com/talks/jose_abreu_on_kids_ transformed_by_music http://www.elsistemausa.org/ 39
