The Murfreesboro
Youth Orchestra will provide, free of charge, stringed
instruments (violin, viola, cello, or string bass) for any student
who has an interest in learning to play that instrument. The purpose
of the Strings Alive!! program is the eventual participation in
the Preparatory Strings Orchestra
and the Murfreesboro Youth Orchestra.
It is the desire of the MYO
to enrich the student's life with music, self-confidence, and
a sense of accomplishment. Learning to play an instrument will
benefit a student in many ways and provide him or her with a way
of expression.
The MYO has
set forth the following guidelines:
- The student must express an interest in learning to play the
violin, viola, cello or string bass.
- The student must take private music lessons. Financial assistance
may be available for these lessons.
- The student may use the instrument that is owned by the
MYO for approximately one year. This does not apply to
those students playing the string bass. The MYO
conductor and private teacher will determine the specific length
of use for that instrument.
- The student will be responsible for the care and routine maintenance
of the instrument.
Interested students are asked to contact
