What families say
“The Class Act program has benefited our school and students by instilling a love and appreciation for classical music. Our school orchestra has grown substantially as we have partnered with the Pacific Symphony.” — Class Act partner school Principal
“Class Act expanded our students' knowledge of music history and gets students excited to learn about classical music. Our students get to see a professional musician in action several times through the year and they get to hear a quintet of professionals at the family night where my string orchestra also got to perform beforehand!” — Class Act partner school music teacher
“Through Class Act, I’ve learned so much about the composers. We’ve all heard about the famous names, but we learned about the history, lives, and music in an entertaining, interactive way which catches the students’ attention.” — Class Act partner school Parent Coordinator
