Teach viola lessons to students (from families with low incomes) at our community arts center in the Adams Morgan neighborhood. Sitar Arts Center is an award-winning non-profit visual and performing arts center that offers a wide range of afterschool classes to DC kids from low-income families. Private lesson students are given the opportunity to take 30 minute lessons on their instrument and perform in a end of the year student showcase. Most teachers teach two 30-minute lessons each week, for a total of one hour a week.
