No experience is needed to be part of this class! Any students who wishes to be part of an ensemble where they can make new/more friends, participate in social activities PLUS learn a string instrument; this is class is designed for you!
Students are given the opportunity to learn which instrument they would like to learn. Students are expected to stick with the same instrument for the whole year.
Parents are encouraged to rent a store instrument if able. If you are unable to rent an instrument from a store please reach out to either director through email or fill out the "School Instrument Interest" form.
