There are 4 instruments offered as part of the orchestra program: Violin, Viola, Cello, and Bass. The beginners are taught in separate classes for each instrument during the school day. Usually, students are drawn to a particular sound and will do the best when they get to play the instrument they are most attracted to. Any sized kid can play any sized instrument, so don’t let the dimensions throw you off. With the bigger instruments – the rental instrument goes home and stays there while a school instrument is checked out to them to play at school. This avoids your child having to stuff a cello into their bicycle basket or trying to skateboard home while carrying a bass!! In orchestra, we play a wide variety of music – classical, pop, fiddle, rock, modern - in all instrument classes!
