Volunteer in the Music Classroom
ORGANIZATION: California Symphony
Please visit the new page to apply.
Inspired by the El Sistema program of Venezuela, the California Symphony began a Sound Minds pilot program at Downer Elementary in San Pablo in 2012. Now, serving all second through sixth-grade students at Downer Elementary who wish to participate, the program remains completely free of charge to students and families. Students receive instruction on violin or cello, as well as musicianship, ensemble work, and academic tutoring.
California Symphony is looking for volunteers who can tune a string instrument and help with classroom management (checking in students, walking students between classes, and assisting with homework when needed).
Apply to learn more.
Background Checks, fingerprinting, and a negative TB test are required.
