The 100 x 35 Music Program is a social development program through music aimed at broad sectors of the low-income population and focused on children from 4 years old to adolescence. This program aims to spread the benefits of music as a rescue and prevention tool and for it to become an instrument to motivate, unite and promote the progress of our children and society in general. The project is based on the successful Venezuelan model of the National System of Youth and Children's Orchestras and Choirs of Venezuela, better known as El Sistema.

The Musical Awakening Project began as a musical program for early ages in response to the great need for a quality musical education curriculum in the country's care centers. For this reason, the Puerto Rico Conservatory of Music has taken on the task of creating, producing and implementing the use of several curricular guides with musical activities developed in Spanish that currently serve boys and girls from zero months to five years. .

Since 2006, the Conservatory has achieved an important alliance with the Ángel Ramos Foundation and various Head Start and Early Head Start programs, which has supported the initial implementation of the project in 19 municipalities on the island.
