The music division of the department has several students in music education who intend. upon completion of their dcf{rccs. to teach string instruments in ckmentuy grades. Since Las Cruces �chools Jo not have an elementary in, strumcntal program and therefore, no opportunity for these students to gain experience, Dr. John Glowacki, NMSU fine arts head, decided on this progr;1m of free string instruction to all fourth, fifth, and sixth grade students of Las Cruces who are interested enough to rent an in�trument or dig out one of the family archives. The program has been unc.h:rway since Sept. with 120 FUTURE SYMPHONY MEMBERS. Pictured above are students from Las Cruces roungstcrs swarming into the Music receiving instruction at NMSU.
