Sistema Huronia Music Academy

about

The Sistema Music Program was founded in 1975 and today there are over 100 Sistema chapters globally.  It uses the classical music ensemble experience to achieve positive social change in youth. 

Sistema Huronia is one of 15 Sistema Canada Network organizations and is located in North Simcoe.

Our mission is to build and sustain an intensive social program that provides free, ensemble-based music lessons to inspire children at risk to realize their full potential as students, musicians, and citizens.

Our vision is to instill a strong sense of community, self respect, and mutual support in our children through the pursuit of musical excellence in order to prepare them for a better tomorrow.

In addition to developing music skills, children will improve literacy and grades, gain confidence and self-esteem and build a solid foundation in their lives for the future.
