2025-2026 Elementary Beginning String Orchestra Registration

Students study the basics of string instrument technique and music theory. They work on improving their technique and skills through exercises, etudes, small group playing, full orchestra literature, and method book study. Students participate in 2 concerts during the school year. We ask for a one-time donation of $250 to help cover the costs of the program.

Please see the video here to see types of music classes and instruments offered!
