Maximizing Opportunities, Fostering Discipline! Engaging urban youth through music instruction and performance; cultivating artistically connected, socially concious, productive adults. West Point School of Music is a violence prevention and opportunity generating after-school and out-of-school music education program. The goal of West Point School of Music is to offer impoverished youth ages 7-18 an opportunity to formally study music in a top quality music education program. This program will be provided in the context of vibrant mentoring relationships, life skills training and leadership development. The enduring result of our program will be the building of a quality community band program that stands as a beacon of hope and opportunity for generations.
