Class Act is an Education program that brings the artistic leadership of the Amarillo Symphony to classrooms across the community. Taking the form of ensemble performances in informal settings for small groups, the Class Act program creates meaningful, interactive experiences for students and musicians that cultivate students’ knowledge and relationships with orchestral music and Amarillo Symphony musicians. These in-school presentations include musical performances, instrument demonstrations, student participation, and Q&A sessions. Class Act is eager to partner with area teachers to offer quality, musical experiences right in their own classrooms. This program also makes our musicians available to clinic area ensembles in full rehearsal settings or sectionals.

Our goals with this program are:

• To provide an educational experience.
• To draw connections between great orchestral music and the music children experience in their everyday lives.
• To create interest in playing an instrument.
• To connect students with musicians of the Amarillo Symphony.
• To have fun!

With the help of grants and private donors,
there is no charge for Class Act to visit your school!
