Hello future Orchestra member!
If you are interested in joining the RGMS Orchestra, you have come to the right place!
Let me give you a little information on what the Orchestra is about and what you can expect when you do join.
Let me be very clear in that you DON'T NEED ANY PRIOR EXPERIENCE!!!! In fact, most of the students who join are brand new to learning a musical instrument. Which is awesome because that means I get to teach you EVERYTHING you need to know.
So, now a little bit about the instruments. In Orchestra, you have string instruments (Violin, Viola, Cello, and Bass). No matter how big or small you are, you have the opportunity to choose any of them. String instruments are made in different sizes to accommodate for different sized people.
You do not need to know what instrument you want to play when joining. That is a decision we make together within the first few weeks of school.
You will be absolutely amazed at how much you can learn in just one year of playing an instrument. Not to mention that playing a musical instrument has been PROVEN to improve many parts of your academic careers.
My main goal as a music educator is to make YOU a self sufficient musician who can express themselves through music and loves to play your instrument!
