Strings of Joy, 2018-2019

    The Orchestra's Strings of Joy program provides free violin lessons to selected Trumbull County students in grades three through seven. The new class began their lessons in January 6, 2019. Elements of the program include: 
  • The Orchestra will loan each student an age-appropriate violin and provide individual, 20-minute lessons each Sunday afternoon through December 2019. Occasional group lessons will be scheduled, as well. The Orchestra will provide printed music to the students at no cost.
  • Each student must be willing to attend the lessons, practice what he/she is learning, properly care for the borrowed instrument and demonstrate good behavior throughout each lesson.
  • Parents must be willing to provide transportation for the lessons, provide encouragement and practice space, and assume ultimate responsibility for the instrument.
  • Instructors are qualified musicians who are paid under a separate fund consisting of grants from the Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber Foundation, other community organizations and individual donations.
  • Lessons began January 6, 2019, and are held at Christ Episcopal Church, 2627 Atlantic Street, NE, Warren.
  • Applications for this class were due by December 21, 2018.​
