Monongalia County is one of the few counties in West Virginia which offers an orchestra program in the public schools. Students can choose to learn, Violin, Viola, or Cello. With these lessons you have the opportunity to enrich your child’s education with music. Weekly lessons, provided at your child’s school, are free of charge.
Students must provide their own instrument and music book. (Essential Elements for Strings Book 1) Books are labeled according to instrument.
It is recommended that instruments be rented and not purchased. This arrangement allows for the exchange of instrument sizes as your child grows.
You can rent an instrument at Fawley Music 292-3351. They will assist you and see that your child’s instrument is the correct size for them.
Please do not obtain an instrument from any source other than a reputable music dealer as the quality of some instruments is not guaranteed.
If you would like for your child to take advantage of this musical opportunity and can take the necessary steps to acquire an instrument, please fill out the form that is linked above. I will contact your child’s teacher with days and times of lessons.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
I look forward to working with you and your child.
Mr. Gillum, String Instructor
