Joy of Music Program (JOMP) was founded in 1986 by Wendy Webster Ardizzone. Her vision was to create a musical community that reflects the rich diversity of the greater Worcester area. With its core of outstanding faculty of more than 40 musician educators, JOMP draws students, faculty, staff, volunteers and donors together in a joyful community united by music education and performance. Access informs all of JOMP’s programming. With a beautiful facility (a former nursing home), JOMP has created a fully accessible space for all. Additionally, JOMP believes that no determining factor should stand in the way of a gaining a quality music education. Financial Aid for any person with demonstrated need has been, is and always will be at the heart of JOMP’s mission. JOMP on in. We can’t wait to welcome you.
