Weekly Lessons
Each student is assigned to a lesson group. If you do not remember your child's lesson group, please reach out to Ms. Alcaro.
Lessons rotate on a weekly basis so it is important to check the schedule every week. Students who play the violin and viola must bring their instrument and shoulder rest to school for their lesson and weekly rehearsal. Students who play the cello or bass should leave their instrument at home and use a school instrument for their lesson and weekly rehearsal. All students must bring their String Basics lesson book to every lesson.
