Orchestra Program Details
Grades: K-4
Course Description:
Welcome to Orchestra – Violin Ensemble!
All levels welcome and no experience required!
Students will be grouped in violin classes of similar ages and skill level. They will learn how to play the violin and participate with their friends in an ensemble. This program is designed to keep music FUN, so students should expect to play many familiar songs throughout the 17+ week program, in addition to learning the fundamentals of rhythm, harmony and traditional note reading.
Smaller group classes will come together as one larger ensemble in the spring, culminating in a final year-end concert!
Instruments
- Kindergarten through 4th graders may choose the violin. We plan to expand to more instrument choices in the fall of 2023!
- All levels welcome. No experience required!
Schedule
Instruction begins on Wednesday, January 11th, 2023 and runs through June, culminating in a spring concert on June 7th, 2023.
Thirty to forty minute small group lessons will be held each Wednesday after school between 1:45 PM and 3:30 PM. Please keep that time block free on Wednesdays. This flexibility in scheduling will allow us to create classes best suited for the enrollment.
The final schedule and location of classes will be announced via email after enrollment is complete. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. To aid in your planning, note that beginning classes will be held earlier than intermediate and advanced level classes.
Once the schedule is available, please have your child’s schedule clear for their assigned 30-40 minute time block. Students waiting to take a later lesson may wait in after school care on the yard. Or, contact the school regarding other available campus supervised options for students waiting to take their lesson.
