The good news? Each week, 22 children are becoming better musicians, and hopefully better citizens, as students in our string program. The bad news? That number should be higher, as we currently have 10 kids on the waiting list for violin lessons. The best news? You can help.

With the donation of a new or gently used violin, or a monetary donation to purchase one, we can get some of those names off the list and into our classrooms. Your donation also will allow us to replace some of the excessively worn and low-quality instruments being used by our current students. Please call the School if you have specific questions about how to get a violin into the hands that need it most. Our number is 865-525-6806.
