Making Music Matters, Inc. (MMM) was founded in 2000 to provide free instrumental music education in Boston Public Schools, particularly where budget cuts have eliminated such programs. Originally part of Young Audiences of Massachusetts, the organization serves over 400 students annually with sequential lessons in flute, clarinet, trumpet, and violin, offered during the school day to remove financial and transportation barriers.
