Wauka Mountain Multiple Intelligences Academy’s Jaden Waldrop performs Thursday afternoon during a strings workshop with students from McEver Arts Academy and home-schooled students at the First Baptist Church banquet hall in Gainesville.
Bringing children from across the community, the Hall County Strings Workshop gives students from third through fifth grades an opportunity to work together as an orchestra. “Oftentimes they’re learning through private lessons, which is fine, but playing with an orchestra is a whole different skill set,” said Wauka Mountain Multiple Intelligences Academy music teacher Gretchen Welch. “The children learn to play together and work together as a team.”
