Link Up
Introduce your students to the orchestra by helping them get ready to become a part of it!
Each season more than 5,000 students across the bi-state participate in Link Up. This hands-on music program for students in grades 3-5 explores orchestral repertoire in the classroom while preparing students to sing and play recorders or string instruments from their seats in a culminating SLSO Link Up concert. If you teach recorder, singing, or beginning violin, this program is a must!
