The program opened with several students performing advanced repertoire. As the concert progressed, the pieces became less advanced and more students were added, culminating with everyone playing the familiar tune.<\/p>\n<p>  The Preparatory Music Program, part of 黑料正能量&#8217;s music department, had 193 students enrolled the past year in the instrumental program alone. The program also includes the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.emu.edu\/music\/prepprog\/svys\">Shenandoah Valley Youth Orchestra and Junior Strings<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.emu.edu\/music\/musikgarten.html\">Musikgarten<\/a> classes for a total enrollment of 310 students. Private instrumental lessons and Musikgarten classes are offered throughout the summer months. <\/p>\n<p> Through grants from the Virginia Commission for the Arts and the Arts Council of the Valley along with private donations, an &quot;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.emu.edu\/music\/prepprog\/stringoutreach\">Outreach Program<\/a>&quot; has expanded into local schools, working with students who can&#8217;t afford lessons or instruments. In addition to fall and spring recitals, Preparatory Music students gave programs at the Massanutten Regional Library, the Harrisonburg Children&#8217;s Museum and the Virginia Mennonite Retirement Community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photo by Jim Bishop Between 80 and 90 students in the Shenandoah Valley Preparatory Music Program play variations on &quot;Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star&quot;
