El SIstema-Musical Revolution

Sorry I've been horrible with keeping up with this little old blog!  I recently started teaching with the Ravinia El Sistema program and I've been running around feeling like a deer in headlights.  I am so thrilled to be working through the Ravinia program and the beloved El Sistema program.  I've always been such a fan of the work that El Sistema does.  Gives me goose bumps to think about it.  Their goal is to promote community through music.  To give self worth and the ability to create through music.  Again I get all tingly just thinking about how powerful music is.  In my own life it has been such a powerful force in so many positive ways.  Check out this video about the program and Jose Antonio Abreu who founded the movement.
