Students with playing experience will refine the skills they have learned and will learn new techniques. Students will receive both individual and group instruction on the violin, viola, cello, or bass, they will have the opportunity to perform in a concert at the end of the week, as well as interact with orchestra students from other schools through playing and musical activities and games. Whether a student is a beginner or has string playing experience, this is a great way to retain skills and to boost success during the school year. Students will provide their own instruments.
