Since Fall 2023, the Atlanta Festival Academy has proudly provided free private lessons to students at Duluth Middle School through our outreach program. It has been incredibly inspiring to watch these young musicians grow, both in confidence and skill and make meaningful contributions to their school orchestra.
We are deeply grateful to the dedicated faculty of William Pu Music Academy for their outstanding teaching: Dr. Shang Jian (violin) , Mr. Clark Carruth (viola) , Dr. Martin Gueorguiev (cello) , Mr. Michael Farrick (bass)
Special thanks to Ms. Katherine Mathis and Ms. Grace Parson of the Duluth Middle School Orchestra for their invaluable support and collaboration. These lessons have not only transformed the students’ musical journey but also enriched the entire orchestra program at the school.
The Atlanta Festival Academy is committed to expanding access to high-quality music education and empowering the next generation of musicians—one student at a time.
