Website Construction (CMS-Based)

Project details

What we need
  • Development of a new website using a Content Management System (CMS)
  • Training to ensure Organization's staff members can update content and manage the site post-launch
  • Note: This project is for a website built with a Content Management System (CMS), such as Wordpress, Squarespace, Joomla, Drupal, or Weebly . A CMS-based website can be maintained and updated easily (no coding required!)
What we have in place
  • We currently have a design set up, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a dedicated staff member to manage the site, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to partially fund intensive classical string training lessons for our students for FY2019.

An updated website will help current students and families to keep up to date on various lessons, workshops, and performances. It will help students auditioning into our feeder program FOCUS and main STEP program in a more efficient way. And it will help funders see the impact they have on our program. Additionally a new look and feel will bring our image up to date for all our users.

Our mission

Project STEP (String Training Education Program) recognizes that certain racial and ethnic minorities are vastly underrepresented in classical music.

Our mission is to address this imbalance by identifying musically talented children from underrepresented Boston and surrounding communities, providing them with comprehensive music and string instrument instruction. We set the highest standards for our students, provide mentoring and performance opportunities, and create a network of support for our students, their families, and their communities.

What we do

Project STEP provides the following for its participants:

-Weekly private lessons
-Weekly class instruction in music theory and solfège
-Two master classes each season taught by established artists
-Chamber music coaching
-Student recitals
-Orchestral music coaching
-Opportunity to attend numerous performances each year by established artists and ensembles
-Summer music study
-Parent Council with monthly meetings
-Continuing guidance into the conservatory / university level and beyond
-Low-interest loans available for the purchase of musical instruments after graduation
