Finding a Love for the Violin

Isay Medrano is the most talented violinist in the Mendez Middle School Orchestra.

He practices at home for hours every day. In school, he and his classmates are preparing for the University Interscholastic League orchestra competition.

Nearly 95% of students at Mendez qualify for free or reduced lunch and most orchestra students can’t afford private lessons or their own instruments. Instead, they rely on their orchestra conductor, Jeffrey Hall.
