El Sistema Calgary

My son began the programme during the pandemic and has continued it to this day. He's taking online classes, which we adore. We are happy since the teachers (Erick and José) are incredibly knowledgeable and patient with small children. This is an excellent opportunity to learn something that will benefit not only your behaviour but also your life.
Thank you to all of the sponsors and teachers who created the opportunity for all of the families.

This is an amazing program that gives youth an invaluable opportunity to learn formal musical instruction. In addition, they develop skills for life like discipline, focus, resilience and perseverance. This initiative has a positive ripple effect in our community.
Kudos to Jose Duque and all his team of instructors, volunteers and sponsors for their passion and commitment.

The program is excellent!
I’m super happy that my daughter joined it playing the violin, she has a natural talent! She just started the classes this year and her progress is impressive. She connected immediately with her teacher and excelled under her guidance. María and Alexandra are very knowledgeable teachers. It is pretty amazing how well they play it and teach to others with smile specially doing classes online due COVID-19 restrictions.
Thanks Jose for promoting the collective practice of music and making a program accesible to children and youths who might not have the opportunity to learn music and play an instrument.

Best program ever :)
I am amazed how fast my son is progressing in playing his violin 🎻.
Erik is the best teacher , sooo patient and always encourage my son to practice.
And a big thanks for Jose that managed and organized this program.
This is the second year for my son,he is always happy to join the class , he didn't just learned how to play violin , he is proud of himself and more confident.
Thank you
