YAY! YOU'RE IN ORCHESTRA“In every school, there are students who are inherently
attracted to the sound of stringed instruments. Without a string and orchestra program to provide access to string education, students are denied the possibility of realizing
their potential.” - Arkansas String Teachers Association
