The Paper Instruments Project

In the Daily Orchestra Program, students’ musical journeys start with playing paper instruments before graduating to their real wooden instruments.  This year, our luthier Erik Talley created a new-and-improved model that looks and feels like the real thing! Students enjoyed learning about instrument care and technique, as well as painting and customizing their very own paper instruments to take home.  Many thanks to Erik and our wonderful volunteers for making this meaningful and adorable project possible.
