2025-2026 Class Offerings

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 socioeconomic communities under the umbrella of the arts. MMP is a program of the Montgomery Symphony Orchestra.

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

The School Program provides quality after-school group lessons to elementary and middle school students during the school year. Students receive instruction weekday afternoons, with all instruments and supplies provided. Families will have two locations to choose from: BEAR Exploration Center or Wilson Elementary. 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 which includes group classes and choir. Parents are required to stay with their students during group classes.
