Mission
Opportunity Music Project’s mission is to provide the opportunity for all children, regardless of economic background, to pursue their passion for music, gain valuable personal and collaborative skills associated with the rigors of learning an instrument, and be engaged in an inclusive community.
Programs
Opportunity Music Project provides 100% full scholarships for 100% of our students.
We serve students from families living below the New York State poverty line, who would not otherwise be able to afford the high cost of a music education.
