    Description

    Organizational Background

    At the Harmony Program, music changes lives every day. Through
    collective music-making, children from under-served communities
    explore new avenues and realize their full potential. For over 15
    years, the Harmony Program has distinguished itself by serving
    children in need, reaching them within their own communities,
    providing them with instruments and high-quality musical training,
    and helping to develop in them the life skills that support their
    healthy development – musically, academically, and socially. The
    Harmony Program also recruits and trains accomplished musicians as
    its teachers and provides them with formal professional development
    training, observation and evaluation, access to a network of their
    peers, and competitive compensation for their services, with the
    goal of instilling in them a long-term commitment to community
    outreach and education.

    The Harmony Program is inspired by Venezuela's national youth
    orchestra system, "El Sistema." Committed to improving society
    through music, El Sistema has gained international acclaim for the
    breadth of its reach, the quality of its musicians, and the power
    of its positive influence on the young lives it touches. In the
    spirit of El Sistema, the Harmony Program emphasizes the influence
    of music-making on social development, encourages learning through
    ensemble playing, fosters a supportive community for program
    participants and families, and requires of all involved a high
    degree of commitment to music study.

    Founder and Executive Director, supervise one full-time Development
