• To create performing and recording opportunities for young musicians and ensembles, helping them launch professional careers.
• To guide and support teachers of musical instruments, in order to improve teaching standards in all conservatories, especially in the periphery.
• To develop and implement special, high standard programs for teaching instruments in elementary schools, focusing on the periphery.
• To pay special attention to areas of music that are neglected or marginalized by mainstream establishments, such as a-capella choirs, Arabic music, early music and the like.

• To promote informed public discourse on music and its socio-cultural contexts.
