We created A violin can change the world to help as many disadvantaged children as possible. Our goal is to help them perform better in school by teaching them to play the violin—a challenging instrument—through regular, consistent instruction.
This sweeping experiment, launched in 2015 in Switzerland and in 2017 in France, reaches nearly 3,000 violin students in 43 schools in the fall of 2026.
We co-created the program with national education officials in France, canton-level authorities in Switzerland, and our partner towns. Since 2024, the program has been progressively handed over to public education authorities.
