Summer Strings
A program for developing violinists
A program for developing violinists
Are you looking for a way to continue developing your violin skills this summer? Incoming 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th graders are invited to join this supportive and fun violin program that will help them develop as violinists and get ready for orchestra in the fall. All students participating in the full summer program will be invited to perform at the End of Summer Recital.
Option 1: Full Summer Program with End of Summer Recital
The full summer program includes eight 30 minute lessons, a dress rehearsal with an accompanist, and a recital. Students who select this package are asked to attend at least seven of the eight lessons, the dress rehearsal, and the recital. 1 make up lesson will be offered throughout the summer to accomodate for vacations and other activities. Cost of the full program is $160. See schedule below:
Week 1: Lessons--Wednesday, June 10
Week 2: Lessons--Wednesday, June 17
Week 3: Lessons--Wednesday, June 24
Week 4: Lessons--Wednesday, July 1
Week 5: Lessons--Wednesday, July 8
Week 6: Lessons--Wednesday, July 15
Week 7: Lessons--Wednesday, July 22
Week 8: Lessons--Wednesday, July 29
Dress Rehearsal with Accompanist--Wednesday, August 5
Recital (Save the Date!!)--Sunday, August 8, 4pm
The emphasis will be on technique, sound, and position. Note reading will not be emphasized. Students who know how to read music will be able to use that skill. Students who are still learning to note read do not need to hesitate to join us. Students will be taught a selection of pieces from the Suzuki books targeted towards their skill level. Students who are ready for a challenge may learn other possible pieces to teach specific skills or techniques they are ready for. All music will be provided.
Option 2: Lesson Package
If the full summer program does not work for you, you may alternately opt for a simple lesson package:
Four 30 minute lessons: $80
Six 30 minute lessons: $120
Once you register, the instructor will contact you to set up a lesson schedule for the summer.
For lesson packages, music can be provided as explained for the full program students, or students can bring their own music to work on with the instructor.
