TGO Mentor Program
The Gainesville Orchestra (TGO) is a founding member of the National Instrumentalists Mentoring and Advancement Network (NIMAN) whose mission is to find ways to mentor a diverse group of elementary school students in classical music.
We seek to engage elementary school students who are interested in classical music by providing instructors and instruments in eligible Alachua County public schools. This initiative goes beyond the Early Childhood Music Education Incentive Pilot Program which focuses on music education programs from kindergarten through second grade by bringing these opportunities to upper grades in elementary schools, like those of Lake Forest Elementary School in Gainesville.
During the 2023-24 school year, The Gainesville Orchestra provided music teachers and violins to fourth and fifth graders at Lake Forest Elementary School. In the near future, The Gainesville Orchestra is seeking to expand this program to three other elementary schools in Alachua County.
To maintain these special opportunities and expand them in Alachua County, your tax deductible sponsorship and support would be greatly appreciated.
Please join us in bringing classical music to elementary school students in our community.
