Teaching Artist
TFO teaching artists collaborate closely with Pinellas County School orchestra directors, providing invaluable classroom support. By supporting lesson planning, technical skill development, and fostering artistic growth, they have played a pivotal role in expanding string programs and enhancing both artistic and pedagogical methodologies in the classrooms.

Side by Side
The Florida Orchestra is proud to partner with local youth orchestras for side-by-side performances. TFO musicians work closely with young performers, offering mentorship and rehearsing together to present a shared piece onstage. This collaboration provides a unique opportunity for students to learn from professionals and perform in a shared musical experience.
