What Exactly is a Chapter?

A "chapter" is a branch of the TLS Project that consists of a group of musicians that volunteer their time to offer informative yet engaging sessions, which include a variety of lessons and entertaining performances for classical music appreciation.

“Why Should I Start a Chapter?”

There are many benefits of starting a chapter. Here are some listed below:

  1. Expose underprivileged children to the beauties of classical music and educate them about the complexity of classical music.

  2. Assist children’s growth through helping them learn or listen to classical music, which strengthens the brain by learning grit and self-discipline through a passion.

  3. Meet new people and get to know your community better.

  4. Have the opportunity to exercise leadership skills through management and collaboration with your team.

  5. Earn community service hours and qualify for community service awards.
