Hi, My name is Sun Shin, and I am a single mom. I am a High School Orchestra Director on Long Island and am now offering a summer orchestra program. In 2024, my orchestra received a gold with distinction in level 6, the highest score attainable.
Here's how this music program came to be: I've always wanted my daughters to learn string instruments through orchestra programs, like those offered in other school districts across Long Island. However, the Queens school district had not yet implemented elementary and middle school orchestra programs. So, I took it upon myself to teach my daughters these instruments and provide them with the opportunity to experience orchestra rehearsals and group lessons similar to those available in Long Island school districts. This led me to establish the summer program, where my two daughters will join other students to learn instruments, participate in orchestra rehearsals, and perform in concerts.
Our orchestra summer program is for young students (grades 2-12). Four students will group each group lesson.
