Violin/Viola and Cello Teachers
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The ACO Foundations Program aims to improve the cognitive, emotional and behavioural development of young children through access to quality music education. Students at under-resourced schools are provided with free instrumental and music lessons, integrated into their daily classroom curriculum. The Program is currently running at St Marys North Public School in Western Sydney.
In 2021, all Year 1 and 2 students at St Marys North Public School will be provided with a violin or cello alongside weekly lessons with a specialist instrumental teacher, daily classroom practice sessions supported by digital resources made by the ACO, and regular visits from ACO musicians, who practice with the children and inspire their development.
