Montgomery Music Project

The mission of the Montgomery Music Project (MMP) is to develop young people and bring communities together through music. We do this by delivering affordable, high-quality music instruction to the children of Montgomery and the River Region and by uniting diverse geographic, ethnic, and socio-economic communities under the umbrella of the arts. Since 2011, MMP has provided highly trained teachers to give instruction in violin, viola, and cello, as well as in music theory, history, ear-training and more. MMP is a program of the Montgomery Symphony Orchestra.

MMP offers three enriching ways for children to become involved during the school year: After-School Program, Saturday Program, and Pre-Twinkle Program

  • The After-School Program provides quality after-school group lessons to elementary and middle school students during the school year. Students receive instruction on select weekday afternoons, with all instruments and supplies provided. Families will have two locations to choose from: Forest Avenue Academic Magnet or Wilson Elementary. (Children do NOT need to be enrolled in these schools to attend the After-School program.) The program also meets on Saturday mornings to rehearse as an orchestra.
  • The Saturday Program is open to children age 13 and younger who take private string lessons during the week and wish to supplement their instruction with an ensemble experience. Weekly sessions include orchestra and choir (for ear training), and also monthly masterclasses and sectionals.
  • Designed with our youngest students in mind, the Pre-Twinkle Program offers an introduction to music lessons and string instruments. Pre-Twinkle music is taught in conjunction with real instruments of their choice. The youngest students will have weekly sessions on Saturday mornings, which includes group classes and choir. Parents are required to stay with their students during group classes.
