Resurrection Ascension is one of approximately 60 schools in New York City who have partnered with Midori & Friends to provide a high-quality violin program for our students. They are led by Kerrick Sasaki, an experienced teaching artist who has been working with our school since 2014. In the 15-week program, our third graders begin a journey filled with milestones of rich musical experiences. Students are at the center of every aspect of instruction, as they learn to listen, play, and interpret music. Students learn to create something beautiful with their own hands and to share it with their peers, families, and the wider community at our year end recital.
