Before & After School Programs
Boston Music Project is proud to partner with schools throughout the City of Boston to provide before and after-school care, with catered music programming.
Students learn to play violin, viola, cello, or bass in our string programs, while our brass programs feature trumpet and trombone instruction. These programs are open from K1 all the way to 12th grade at certain sites. During programming hours, your child will take part in group classes and rehearsals, in addition to small-group lessons.
