“ASTA is the premier professional organization for string educators in the United States. The organization provides wonderful opportunities for us to connect with each other and share ideas. Just as lawyers join the American Bar Association and doctors join the American Medical Association, string teachers should be part of ASTA.” –Hannah S., ASTA Member
