Orchestra - Instrument Introduction

Ages 8-14
A basic introduction to the violin, viola, cello & string bass. In this 12-week semester, each instrument will be the focus of instruction for a three week period. Through this experience students are given chance to dip their toes into the world of strings without a long-term commitment. Students who enjoy the program are encouraged to deepen their exposure through String Orchestra I.

Band - Instrument Introduction
Ages 8-14
A basic introduction to the flute, clarinet, trumpet and alto saxophone. In this 12-week session, we will spend three weeks on each instrument, just enough time for students to get a basic understanding of simple techniques. At the end of the semester students should have a feel for whether a band instrument is a good fit for them. If interested in pursuing the band experience, students are encouraged to progress to Concert Band I.
