Q The Music

The Dayton Philharmonic Q the Music is a daily, tuition-free, after-school orchestra program available to Grades 3-5 at Ruskin Elementary School. The program supports the musical, academic, and social growth of at-promise youth.

Based on El Sistema’s approach to music education, Q the Music emphasizes intensive ensemble participation, group learning, peer teaching and a commitment to keeping the joy and fun of music learning and music-making ever-present. Our DPVA Volunteers provide support for the teachers and students, everyday after school from 2:00 – 5:00.
