Resources for Your Orchestra
Build Your Own Intergenerational Orchestra
If you have a quartet of musicians who are interested in helping others learn, you can create an orchestra in your community, family, church, or school. Materials posted here are designed to help you navigate the challenges of working with all ages and levels at the same time, think through the resources available in your setting, and encourage you with the many reasons for sharing this opportunity with as many people as possible.
If these materials are helpful to you, please sign our guestbook and tell us about your orchestra.
