This workshop is designed for beginner violin students with approximately 6 to 12 months experience with the instrument. Students will work on different techniques and exercises appropriate to their level, proper posture, and on ensemble playing. Note reading is not required prior to taking the workshop as elements of introductory music theory will be covered. All instruction will take place during the regularly scheduled Workshop times. Students are required to bring their own instrument outfit in a suitable size (the outfit includes violin, bow, shoulder rest, rosin, and case). You can purchase or rent an instrument from a local music store such as Keller Strings, or online at Sharmusic.com or Johnsonstring.com.
