John Nettles is the Music Director of the City Ballet of San Diego Orchestra, a gifted teacher, and a former high school orchestra director. This fall he agreed to help revive OTA’s orchestra and strings teaching program. He has done a tremendous job with the 5th-8th grade “Orchestra Experience (Video)” and the students are lucky to have a working artist as their instructor. John is also reviving the OTA Performance Orchestra, which meets after school (OTA Students: What Instrument Do You Want to Play?!).
