Merit Music in Communities provides transformative music education in schools and community centers across the city.
Launched in 1984, Merit Music in Communities (MMiC) provides high-quality music education at 25 schools and community centers throughout Chicago.
In many cases, the MMiC program serves as a student’s first step on a lifetime journey of musical appreciation. Motivated students are encouraged to continue their studies by enrolling in Merit’s group classes and private lessons, or auditioning for the Alice S. Pfaelzer Conservatory.
