Community Strings Program Slated for Fall 2011

The Voices for the Performing Arts foundation is making preparations to sponsor a beginning strings program in September.  The community based program will serve elementary and middle school aged children at a beginning level for violin, viola, cello or bass.  Additionally, a secondary level orchestra or chamber groups may be formed if enough existing string players are interested. 

Classes will meet weekly, and will run from mid September through May, and will be taught by Shelley Bigelow, orchestra/choir teacher at Tigard's Hazelbrook Middle School 2004-2011.  Ms. Bigelow has taught in the Suzuki Summer Music Camp Programs at both Pacific University and George Fox University for 10 years.  She has taught before school beginning strings at 3 elementary schools in Tigard-Tualatin for 5 years, and has maintained a large private piano studio for over 25 years.  She is enthusiastic and well qualified to teach this new program in Sherwood.

Students will be grouped by age, and a minimum of 10 students per class will be needed to establish a class.

Please fill out the appropriate survey for your student.  Once we know the level of interest we will create classes accordingly.  You will be notified when we have a class schedule arranged.  You will be able to register your student at that time.
