 READING
El Sistema is a publicly financed, voluntary sector, music-education program, founded in Venezuela in 1975 by
Venezuelan educator, musician, and activist José Antonio Abreut. It later adopted the motto "Music for Social
Change." El Sistema inspired programs provide what the International Journal of Applied Psychoanalytic Studies
describes as "free classical music education that promotes human opportunity and development for poor
children.” By 2015, according to official information, El Sistema included more than 400 music centers and
700,000 young musicians. The original program in Venezuela includes four after-school hours of musical training
and practice each week, plus additional work on the weekends. El Sistema-inspired programs in the United States
which provide seven or more hours of instruction per week, as well as free use of an instrument.
Success stories

According to Dudamel, "music saved my life and has saved the lives of thousands of children in Venezuela...like
food, like health care, like education, music has to be a right for every citizen." “El Sistema” has lots students with
careers in music. Edward Pulgar is Principal Second Violin of the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra. Giovanni Guzzo
