La Dra. Rita Sim\u00f3, una pianista cl\u00e1sica entrenada en Juilliard, fue inspirada por la educaci\u00f3n musical gratuita que recibi\u00f3 cuando era ni\u00f1a en la Rep\u00fablica Dominicana. So\u00f1aba con tener su propio lugar para ense\u00f1ar y transmitir la alegr\u00eda de aprender m\u00fasica a los dem\u00e1s. Su creencia era que todos los ni\u00f1os deber\u00edan de tener acceso a la educaci\u00f3n musical, independientemente del nivel socioecon\u00f3mico de su familia.<\/span><\/p>

El sue\u00f1o de Rita se hizo realidad el 22 de febrero de 1976 cuando abri\u00f3 las puertas de The People's Music School en una tienda vac\u00eda en el vecindario Uptown de Chicago, con solo $625 y un piano donado por la Iglesia Cat\u00f3lica St. Thomas of Canterbury. Rita coloc\u00f3 un letrero en la ventana que dec\u00eda CLASES DE M\u00daSICA GRATIS y un pu\u00f1ado de estudiantes comenz\u00f3 a entrar.<\/span><\/p>

Rita fue citada diciendo. \"Lo que estamos haciendo es dejar que los estudiantes descubran su autoestima a trav\u00e9s de su amor por la m\u00fasica.\" En 1995, el Dr. Sim\u00f3 y los directores de la escuela construyeron el edificio que actualmente alberga la escuela en el 931 de W. Eastwood Avenue, todav\u00eda en el barrio culturalmente diverso de Uptown, donde comenz\u00f3.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

El 22 de septiembre de 2020 perdimos a nuestra feroz e intr\u00e9pida fundadora Dra. Rita Sim\u00f3. Rita falleci\u00f3 en su casa en Uptown con su esposo Tom\u00e1s a su lado.
