The ASTA National Office has recently launched a community outreach program to partner youth groups with volunteer string clinicians in a five-session workshop that brings string music to students at an early age. “Discovering Strings and Orchestra” is a nationwide effort to introduce strings to students in grades one through three while focusing on the joy and benefits of playing strings. We are looking for volunteer clinicians, performers, and youth groups to participate in the program.
If you are interested in this project, please visit ASTA’s Discovering Strings and Orchestra to find out how you can get involved. Your participation will make a difference!
