The program, hosted at the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts, offers approximately 60 classes from September through May, focusing on basic musicianship, violin, and cello. In 2024, MMSF expanded its offerings to include flute, clarinet, trumpet, and trombone through a partnership with the Community Music Center.
