About the instructor

Former Passamaquoddy Bay Symphony Orchestra Concertmaster Alice Schuth is a strings educator who has maintained a studio for over 30 years. She is most proud of her work authoring the Paper Orchestra Project, a strings education program tailored to rural communities. Her students often begin as pre-school children in paper orchestra, then become private students, give solo recitals, play chamber music and graduate to orchestral music. As a certified teacher trainer in the Creative Ability Development method she combines playing music in groups with one-on-one instruction to provide a well rounded musical education. Since the beginning of the PBSO, over a dozen young musicians under Alice’s tutelage have joined the ranks of the string sections of the orchestra. Alice was fortunate to see her three sons grow as musicians through Eastport Strings and become founding members of the PBSO. Now that they are out living on their own, she devotes her time ensuring other children and parents can have a similar enriching experience through music.
