Mischa Borisovsky introduced interested fifth graders to the OTA Orchestra Program Friday with a demonstration in the Seminar-Music Room. They all got to hold and play the violin and to hear Mr. Borisovsky play his violin and accordion.

The response was enthusiastic and a number of students said they would be interested in joining the orchestra to learn a string instrument. For the remainder of the year, Mr. Borisovsky will be offering violin lessons Mondays and Thursdays after school. Next year we plan to have violin lessons as part of the in-school music curriculum.
