===The Perlman Music Program===
The [[Perlman Music Program]], founded in 1994 by Perlman's wife, Toby Perlman, and Suki Sandler, started as a summer camp for exceptional string musicians between the ages of 12 and 18.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://gateway.proquest.com.ezproxy1.library.arizona.edu/openurl?url_ver=Z39.88-2004&res_dat=xri:iimp:&rft_dat=xri:iimp:article:fulltext:iimp00163565 |title=The Perlman Music Program: Toby's Project Grows and Grows |publisher=Strings |access-date=October 1, 2011}}</ref> Over time, it expanded to a yearlong program. Students have the chance to have Perlman coach them before they play at venues such as the [[Sutton Place Synagogue]] and public schools.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://gateway.proquest.com.ezproxy1.library.arizona.edu/openurl?url_ver=Z39.88-2004&res_dat=xri:iimp:&rft_dat=xri:iimp:article:citation:iimp00170081 |title=Perlmans' Proteges: The Perlman Music Program |publisher=Strings |access-date=October 1, 2011}}</ref> By introducing students to each other and requiring them to practice together, the program strives to have musicians who would otherwise practice alone develop a network of friends and colleagues. Rather than remain isolated, participants in the program find an area where they belong.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://gateway.proquest.com.ezproxy1.library.arizona.edu/openurl?url_ver=Z39.88-2004&res_dat=xri:iimp:&rft_dat=xri:iimp:article:fulltext:iimp00170084 |title=Perlman Student Stirling Trent |publisher=Strings |access-date=October 1, 2011}}</ref>
