Famed violinist holds class for the youth
ALBANY, GA -- You don't see many teens listening to classical music like Bach, but at Albany State University's campus on Monday, you could find plenty.
Violinist Gareth Johnson showed up to the campus to keep his profession alive.
"Our genre of music will fall off if we don't spread it among the youth," said musician Gareth Johnson.
Among the students was Amy Brooker. She brought her instrument to the course to pick up some lessons and take the once in a lifetime opportunity to play with the master.
"He helped me with a bunch of techniques and also gave me good information as far as practicing and things I can do at home to improve," said student Amy Brooker.
Gareth told Fox 31 News that his audience is usually filled with older people. Monday's class was different because ASU's auditorium was filled with bright eyed students and only a sprinkle of faculty.
