Episode Details

In Indianapolis, El Sistema is turning parks into music classrooms—equipping middle schoolers with drums made from buckets and ukuleles to play hits like “Thriller.” This free, transformative program builds confidence and musical skills for kids who’ve never touched an instrument, offering a vital lifeline in underserved communities. With roots in elementary education and now expanding to preschoolers and teens, El Sistema’s mission is clear: use music to uplift the whole child. They’re seeking grants, donations, and volunteers to keep lessons free and scale their impact—powered by IndyStar’s Season for Sharing initiative, which funds high-impact youth programs across Central Indiana.
