Our school in the Ferguson-Florissant School District serves mostly students who are below the poverty line. They rarely have their own instruments. Young musicians use district instruments, some of which have been in the district since the 80's. They rent them for $25.00/year. Some continue to rent instruments for the 10 years that they are in the orchestra program. This is difficult for many of our parents. Middle school is their first experience with having music classes every day. String students work very hard to learn the positions and how to produce a good sound. We are playing 2-3 part pieces by the Winter Fine Arts Festival.
