of her vision, along with
well over 600 children
who now enjoy a deep ap-
preciation for music.
Carla Arnold grew up in
Salem, where her parents
fostered her natural love
of music and channeled it
by allowing her to pursue
the cello and violin at a
young age.
She moved on to the
violin and piano in mid-
dle school through high
school and into college.
While the music was the
driving force, Carla end-
ed up with a degree in
business, and it was some
time later that she was
certified as a music edu-
cator.
Carla’s
background
could be said to be more
on the “classical” side, but
things changed when she
met her future husband
who was involved with all
types of music genres. He
played the banjo, among
other instruments, and
pulled Carla toward what
would become a lifelong
love of bluegrass and old-
time contra dancing. Carla
was also fortunate to take
lessons while learning
to play the guitar from a
gentleman who suggested
she learn in a more tradi-
tional folk method — a less
structured way that didn’t
utilize the reading of notes
on paper.
This method fostered
listening, being bold
enough to jump in and just
jam with other musicians.
Learning these common
folk melodies, Carla was
My Voice

Perhaps it was this com-
bination of styles — plus
seeing and feeling the
fun of playing these com-
monly known pieces in an
informal group as they are
passed down through the
eras — that led to Carla
to start an afterschool
strings program at Central
School in La Grande some
15 years ago.
“We were given a few
smaller violins that came
was clear it was going to
grow, as more students
wanted to join and many
students were returning
year after year.”
Today, in conjunction
with the Grande Ronde
Symphony Association’s
Fiddle Club, Carla, along
with Denise Hutton and
Kathy Thimmes, are work-
ing with nearly 60 children
at Central, Greenwood and
