MISSION

PIANO SLAM uses music as a platform to enhance education and critical thinking, to spark creativity, sharpen language development, grow communication skills, and to expand the idea of cultural community. PIANO SLAM creates a safe, empowering education environment through live music performance and arts-integrated learning models, sparking discovery, increased communication skills and confidence, and a higher sense of belonging and future success in our community for middle and high school students across Miami-Dade Public School Districts. In our culture many have been isolated in silos -silos of thought, socio-economic status, place, skill, language or expectations. Music in PIANO SLAM is the conduit to connect teenagers, improve their education and engagement in broader aspects of our hometown, and understand how shared experience creates a community.
