About Boston Music Project

The Boston Music Project is a shining example of what is possible when a community comes together in support of the arts. Founded in 2011 by Graciela Briceno and Boston Public Schools Principal Simon Ho, the Program, formerly known as Josiah Quincy Orchestra Program, was created to provide accessible and affordable music instruction to students who may not have the same opportunity as others. Enrollment in the program began with 50 students in its inaugural year, and has grown steadily since then. In 2013, a Kindergarten Musicianship class was established, offering instruction in general music, paper orchestra, beginner strings, and community development from an early age. As a result of the Program’s success, more faculty has been added, and the number of students and hours of instruction have both increased. The Boston Music Project is a shining example of the benefits of collaboration and community support. By providing access to music instruction, the Program enables students to develop their musical skills and abilities, while also building important life skills. It is a testament to the power of collective action and the importance of investing in our children’s futures.
