High School Students
The Community Service Program (CSP) allows high school students to work with Academy program students as coaches. It is an excellent opportunity to develop pedagogical skills as well as allowing more advanced students to give back to the musical community by nurturing younger students. CSP students are mostly string players, although we are seeking to expand opportunities for CSP students to support musical education in other ways (e.g., video editing, general musical education etc.). This program provides an opportunity for CSP students to earn volunteer hours.
Meets Fridays evenings, 5:00-5:45pm or 6:00-6:45pm Location: Pioneer Middle School, 2700 Pioneer Rd, Tustin, CA, 92782 |
