El Sistema Lehigh Valley

Changing Lives Through Music!

Welcome! El Sistema Lehigh Valley is an intensive daily music education program operating at three public schools in the Allentown School District. ESLV provides students with a structured learning environment, fostering personal development through daily music training, homework tutoring, and public performance opportunities. As students master their instruments, they develop important cognitive and social skills, and gain experience as part of an orchestra. ESLV is designed as a longitudinal program, providing consistent support, training, and mentoring to students from kindergarten through high school.
