I truly liked how El Sistema impacted the children and the communities in Venezuela. But I believe El Sistema would not be as successful in the United States as it was in Venezuela. I agree with Melissa Lesniak about how it would be difficult for our government to pay for a program like El Sistema, since the U.S. is in a lot of debt. And the time commitment is too much for a parent’s liking. They would probably prefer to have their children be exposed to other activities than just focusing on music.
If this program were to work in America, it would have to be accessible. It would not have the same impact as it did in Venezuela because the U.S. already has school orchestra programs, whereas in Venezuela they did not have any until El Sistema
