Sneak Peek: Shanna Lin Podcast

Shanna Lin: Paterson Music Project is an El Sistema-inspired program that started 11 years ago in Paterson, New Jersey, at the Community Charter School of Paterson. It is actually a social impact program. The whole idea is that through music education, students can really learn things like discipline and grit and teamwork, and how to build their community and how to support their peers in a musical setting, which should carry over to their everyday lives.
