Carlos Barriento and Opportunity Music Project Contrabass Conversations

The whole world is adjusting to new ways of interaction, and the world of music advocacy is no exception. Jessica Garand’s Opportunity Music Project has been doing a particularly good job of adapting their El Sistema-style program to these current times, with their Sponsor a Student program and many other initiatives and offerings.
In today’s episode, we chat with Jessica and OMP bass instructor Carlos Barriento about the work that this program does, what it has been like teaching online, the challenges and meaningful moments that online teaching has been bringing them, and much more.  Enjoy!
