*Mystery Park Arts developed its first initiative serving children in summer, 2006, with separate instrumental and choir programs in City of Miami parks. The camp concluded with a Mayor's Summer Renaissance concert open to the public at the Miami-Dade College Wolfson Auditorium. Last summer '07 our Music for Youth program was successfully held at our new home in the Carl Fisher Clubhouse. This very popular program provided extraordinary high-level music instruction to 90 students from ages 6 through 17.
It is well-documented that music education programs can successfully address diverse academic and social needs, such as: advancing academic achievement due to transferrable study skills and enhanced self-esteem; developing attention skills, self-expression and physical dexterity; broadening one’s understanding and appreciation of the world; and improving abilities such as self-discipline, collaboration, communication with others, and creativity. 1
Music education opportunities are increasingly limited within the schools – especially for youth whose test scores are low – as arts electives are reduced. Quality music education outside of school is even more difficult to find, and still more difficult to afford, despite a variety of city and private programs. Our mission is to make music (and arts) education available to all.

"I am pleased and excited with the partnership the City has formed with
SoBe Music Institute for a summer program at the Carl Fisher Clubhouse within the newly created Cultural Arts Neighborhood District Overlay,” said former Miami Beach Mayor David Dermer. “The SoBe Music Institute is exactly what CANDO is all about,” he added.
