If you work with high school or older groups, please consider starting a Student Chapter at your school. The student chapter can be very useful in assisting with younger classes, special orchestra activities, ushering, and assisting with fund-raisers or other
projects. We have a shortage of string teachers in our state and the student chapter experience could be the catalyst to get good people interested in the string teaching profession. Check out lots more info and simple instructions on the ASTA website: <span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;
