Code of Ethics for School and Youth Orchestras

Abstract

Several Editorial Board members of the Music Educators Journal have suggested that the Code of Ethics for School and Youth Orchestras be printed in the Journal. This document was originally prepared by the American String Teachers Association under the direction of Paul Rolland, then president. With the increasing number of all-city and all-county youth orchestras, the ASTA felt that it was necessary to delineate the aims, purposes, and responsibilities of such groups in relationship to in-school groups. Additional copies of the Code may be secured from: American String Teachers Association, Office of Publications, School of Music, University of Illinois, Urbana, Illinois 61801.
