Orchestra Program Details
Grades: 3-5
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. This program is designed to keep music FUN, so students should expect to play many familiar songs throughout the 10+ week program, in addition to learning the fundamentals of rhythm, harmony and traditional note reading.
Instruments
- 3rd, 4th and 5th graders may choose the violin. (We plan to expand to more instrument options this fall!)
Schedule
Instruction begins on Wednesday, March 22, 2023 and runs through May 31, 2023, possibly culminating in a school concert!
Thirty minute small group lessons will be held each Wednesday at school during the school day.
Program costs
There is no program fee required to participate. Funding for instruction is provided by generous grants and donations. Donations are gratefully appreciated and can be made out to the “Gault Street Elementary School”.
