from home page)
Don’t forget to check out our website wvasta.org. to locate forms, dates, and other items of string interest. If you are interested in being listed on the national asta website for private lessons, please let the national office know. This does allow students new to the area to find you easily.
The ASTA conference will be held in Atlanta, Georgia this year from March 21 through March 24. The hotel they have selected is beautiful and conveniently located to many interesting places. The conference will feature the National High School Honors Orchestra and the National Orchestra Festival, as well as masterclasses in performance and pedagogy. As Atlanta is within driving distance, members may wish to consider a caravan delegation.
