Orchestra Program Details

Welcome to Orchestra!
Grades: 3–5
All levels welcome – no experience necessary!

Are you looking for a fun and engaging way to introduce your child to the world of music? Look no further than our Orchestra program!

More Details

Whether your child is a total beginner or already has some experience, our program is open to all students interested in learning to play the violin, flute, clarinet, or trumpet. Small group classes are appropriately organized by age, instrument, and ability, ensuring each student receives personalized instruction from our talented and supportive teachers.

Throughout the 2025-2026 school year program, your child will have the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of rhythm, harmony, and traditional note reading, all while playing familiar songs that they love. In the spring, these smaller groups will come together to form a larger ensemble, culminating in a memorable year-end concert.

Not only will your child build lifelong musical skills and confidence, they’ll also have a blast learning an instrument and performing alongside their friends. Enroll today for our Orchestra program and watch as they discover the joy of making music!

Each student will also have access to a customized Class Portal, which includes weekly class recaps, practice assignments, practice tips, downloadable sheet music, play along tracks, helpful video tutorials, and more.

Terms and Conditions*
I hereby enroll my child in the school instrumental music program. Learning an instrument is a commitment in which I will support by encouraging my child to attend each week and establishing a regular practice routine at home. I understand that there are no refunds after the third week of class or if a class is cancelled due to circumstances beyond The Orchestra Place's control. A minimum number of students is required to hold a class and if a particular class is cancelled due to low enrollment, the student will be issued a full refund. In addition, if the host school limits The Orchestra Place's ability to provide on campus instruction, classes will quickly pivot to an online environment, and those who can no longer participate will receive a provide a pro-rated refund.

I understand that regular attendance is very important and that three or more unexcused absences may result in my child being dropped from the program.

I also hereby recognize the importance of having a good, quality, working instrument and understand that my child must have an instrument brand name listed on the approved brands list in order to participate. Inferior quality instruments are not acceptable for use in the music program.

Because of the nature of a free program paid for by the school, orchestra students must maintain their academics or they will not be allowed to participate. The orchestra program requires a one year commitment spanning the entire 2025– 2026 school year (September 2025– May 2026) and regular home practice.

I also hereby grant to The Orchestra Place, its sponsors, organizers, and/or assigns The Orchestra Place the irrevocable and unrestricted right to use and publish photographs (including video photography and performance) of my child, or in which my child may be included, for publication, electronic reproductions (websites) and/or promotional materials or any other purpose and in any manner or medium. In addition, I grant my permission to alter the same without restriction; and to copyright the same. I hereby release the photographer and The Orchestra Place from all claims and liability relating to said photographs.
I agree to the terms and conditions.
