The purpose of the Music Opportunity Program is to involve young people with string instruments, through meaningful educational experiences, which will result in a life-long love of orchestra music, and a continuing involvement with the performing arts.By reaching out to students who otherwise have no availability to this type of music education, hence the name Music Opportunity Program. The Music Opportunity Program has instructional programs throughout the greater Birmingham area, and a scholarship program to help those families in need. More than 400 students are enrolled in the two MOP Divisions which are:1) the Instrument Instruction Division2) the Youth Orchestra Division.
