In THEIR Words…

  • “Can we do this more often (in reference to a performance opportunity with VCU Health Orchestra)? This is so incredible!”

    Erin, 11th grade, participant in MOR’s In School Residency program at MeadowBrook High School

  • “My favorite thing about violin is getting to at least play an instrument. I've been wanting to play an instrument for a long time. Never really got the chance to play, so I think this is good for me.”

    Q, 3rd grade student at Peter Paul

  • "If I could say one thing to any person that's creating or allowing these opportunities to happen, I would just say thank you. I would say that I don't think people really realize how much this experience will change or affect the child for so many years later. Sometimes you don't always get to see it, but know that it is changing lives and it's inspiring a lot of students and children that you don't even know.”

    Ridgely Carter, mom to Langston Carter, 3rd grade, enrolled in the violin lesson program run by MOR at Peter Paul RVA.

  • "“Thank you for the things this program has done. I've had a lot of fun. I've learned a lot of things, and it has helped me. When I'm having bad days and I come to my violin program, it makes me feel better. There was this one day recently where I was having a really bad day, and I didn't really mean anything, but when I came to violin, I left really happy. I noticed that the violin program helped me cope with my emotions.”

    Qmaya-Leigh Owens, fourth grade, enrolled in the violin lesson program run by MOR at Peter Paul RVA
