From First Note to Full Orchestra

How does a student’s first experience with strings grow into a lifelong love of music? Orchestra teacher Kristi Stingle and Lakeridge High School senior Iris Vanderlip join us to explore the orchestra journey from elementary school through high school. Hear about the challenges, memorable performances, and opportunities along the way, and how making music together builds confidence, friendships, and belonging. For students curious about picking up an instrument, this episode offers encouragement to try that first note. Dr. Jennifer Schiele, Superintendent, LOSDMary Kay Larson, Executive Director of Communications, LOSDKristi Stingle, Orchestra Teacher, Lakeridge Middle & High SchoolsIris Vanderlip, Student, Lakeridge High School  To learn more about the topics we discussed, ask a question, or share ideas for future episodes, please visit LOSDSchools. org.
