DREAM Music Program

The new DREAM Music Program centers around inspiring early childhood development and at risk youth through music. The Dominican Republic is one of the most musical cultures in the world, yet very few organized music programs are available. This program will expose impoverished youth ages 3-18 to a structured music program that coincides with their focus on quality education. Children that participate in band and ensemble music programs are seven times more likely to graduate from high school. In addition, developing the skill of playing a musical instrument instills confidence and a sense of responsibility in the most unique way.
