AAA provides vital arts programming to our mountain communities through our signature Youth Enrichment Program, and through Community Concerts.

YOUTH ENRICHMENT PROGRAM

Our Youth Enrichment Program operates in partnership with the Rim of the World Unified School District to provide direct support to our local school music students through:

Private Music Instruction – Scholarships are paid quarterly to teachers to subsidize the cost of student lessons.

Instrument Rental Scholarships – Instrument rentals are available to all string students.

Music Camp Scholarships – We provide scholarships for local students to Arrowbear Music Camp and other regional music camps.

Musical Performances in the Schools – We present annual musical performances to three elementary schools, reaching over 1,700 children grades K through 6, without cost to the school district.

Early Childhood Music Program – This program introduces kindergarten through third grade children in our local elementary schools to the musical concepts of melody, harmony, tempo, dynamics, rhythm, and musical notation.

Introduction to the Orchestra Program – We introduce third grade children to each section of the orchestra by giving them the opportunity to see, hear, touch, and play real orchestra instruments.

String Program and Youth Orchestras – Our string programs include the Elementary, Elementary Advanced, Intermediate Orchestra, Intermediate Chamber Players, and Young Artists’ Ensemble at three elementary schools in the Rim of the World School District. After-school programs include the Elementary Advanced for advanced grades 5-6 string players. Middle and High School string musicians can participate in the Intermediate Orchestra, Intermediate Chamber Players, and Young Artists’ Ensemble.

Frosty Fiddles, Stringtacular – These youth recitals provide all music students, grades 4-12, with an opportunity to perform.

COMMUNITY CONCERTS

Fall Music Festival – We present a yearly concert by the Riverside County Philharmonic.

Youth Symphony Concerts – We present free concerts by regional youth symphonies.
