Music Program
AIS STRING ENSEMBLE
Enrich your life: listen, learn, and perform.
Austin International School is excited to launch its first string ensemble program. This program is open to all CM1/4th - 4e/8th graders at AIS and will be led by Mr. Steve Duprez.
“Artistic creativity is just as important as other subjects. Knowing computer coding and calculus is great, but it’s the creative application of that knowledge that changes the world. Involving your children in the arts offers real creative and cognitive benefits. These students will be the ones who find the patterns that unlock the mysteries, issues, and challenges of the future.” Why Learn Strings?… A message from Dr. B. of the University of Arizona String Project.
