We are so excited to offer a program that provides both beginner and intermediate level classes for youth. Our experienced instructors are passionate about music and are dedicated to fostering a love for orchestra in our students.
Our curriculum is designed to provide a well-rounded music education, including instruction in technique, music theory, and ensemble playing. Students will have the opportunity to learn and play a variety of classical pieces from different eras, as well as modern arrangements.
No prior experience is necessary to join our beginner class. Our instructors will guide students through the basics of their chosen instrument and provide individualized instruction to ensure that each student progresses at their own pace.
