El Sistema Colorado (ESC) offers an intensive and long-term afterschool music program for students who have a passion for music! El Sistema Colorado focuses on developing self confidence, teamwork, and social responsibility. Generous donors have made the program TUITION FREE. Most students participate for a minimum of two years, and many students have been in the program for much longer.
Although ESC is a completely free program, we require families to commit to attending 80% attendance for all of their students enrolled activities throughout the year. We also require that students attend the program each day of their scheduled classes. For example, if the class meets on Tuesday and Thursday, students are required to attend both days. We realize that is a big commitment, but we think that the joy of making great music together is totally worth it!
The program takes place at the El Sistema Colorado Music Center at 2980 Curtis St. Denver, CO 80205. We are offering group strings instruction (violin, viola, cello, bass).
Space is limited. After we have received your interest form, your child will be considered for enrollment based on spots available. FINAL DAY TO SUBMIT AN INTEREST FORM IS August 18th, 2024.
After you submit this interest form:
