Anyiah is a fourth grade student at Turner Elementary School and a participant in the school’s partnership with the DC Youth Orchestra Program (DCYOP). The young violinist has been playing for more than a year now, and her enthusiasm for music has earned a scholarship to practice with the DCYOP on weekends in addition to her rehearsals with her classmates. “I like playing the violin because it’s fun and I get to make music,” she said. “When we work hard we get better, and I’m going to keep playing for a long time.”
