Calling All Bay Area Middle, High School Musicians

For the 30th year, Castro Valley-based Jenny Lin Foundation offers a summer music program free of charge to middle and high schoolers in Band, String Orchestra & Choir. Participants meet at Creekside Middle School on Monday, Wednesday & occasionally Thursday from 6:45 to 9:00 pm starting Monday, June 10 for 5 weeks. We are flexible with rehearsal attendance but students must perform at the evening concert on Saturday, July 13.

It’s not too late for eligible students to register now for the great opportunity to meet peers across the Bay Area, and be able to rehearse and perform in a group during the summer. High school students who participate may earn service learning hours.

Last year, 200 students participated in the program.  Our seasoned music directors can’t wait to work with many more of you this summer.

A Castro Valley native and alumna of Jenny Lin Summer Program, Choral Director Chloe Billings currently teaches choir at Creekside, and music at 9 elementary schools in Castro Valley. She is also Director of Silicon Valley Boychoir in Palo Alto.

Orchestra Director Greg Conway is a full-time music teacher with San Ramon Unified School District. He earned his M.M. degree in Instrumental Conducting from San Jose State University following 16 years of teaching music in Fremont public schools.

Band Director Matthew Fell is another experienced music educator who holds a Master’s of Music degree in Conducting from the American Band College of Sam Houston State University.  He is fully committed to giving each of his students a quality music education in an environment where they feel cared for and invested in.
