Resource: Orchestra Classroom

Are you a strings teacher in the K-12 space? You’ll probably already know that there aren’t that many quality online free resources just for you. There is a LOT of stuff for band, some stuff for choir, but not a lot for strings. I really don’t know why. That said, there are a few fantastic resources, and Orchestra Classroom is definitely one of them. The site is the work of Angela Harman, a strings teacher in Mapleton, Utah. She is clearly passionate about providing resources for strings teachers, and has a terrific blog and online store with lots of resources. The blog is great for providing free resources and tips for teaching strings. This is a site you should definitely bookmark right now.

The blog has lots of freebies that you can download and some great articles as well. Freebies include fingering charts, downloadable PDF activities, and even string arrangements. Her Teachers Pay Teachers site has TONS of great resources available for purchase, and she also has 24 string arrangements and compositions available on JW Pepper. I hope that you find this website useful!
