Empowering Young Musicians: Sofia and Isabella’s Journeys
Your support has made it possible for young talents like Sofia and Isabella to thrive. Sofia, a dedicated bassist, attended an intensive music training program in Morelia this summer, thanks to generous donations. “During this course, I learned a lot and had a lot of fun! I worked on posture, balance, and new techniques. It was my first face-to-face double bass class in two years, which helped me immensely,” Sofia shared.
Isabella, who began her musical journey with OSV at age 12, is now taking her passion to new heights as she starts college in Guadalajara. “Thank you so much for everything you taught me. They were years of lots of learning and beautiful moments. This isn’t goodbye – it’s a see you later!” she wrote.
