ASTA is committed to helping its membership develop and refine their skills throughout their careers, from budding student teachers to artist-status performers. ASTA offers many services tailored to each member’s unique needs.

Missouri State Chapter

MoASTA is active in many areas supporting string performance and education. The Board of Directors oversees the Missouri All State Orchestra Program (ASO).  DIRECTORS please be vigilant in reading not only the audition information pages on this website, but the MSHSAA handbook rules for solo/ensemble festivals.  Changes have taken place in both venues!

Encourage your colleagues to join ASTA and visit our website for news and pertinent information about our organization!  Regards,
