Join us for this fantastic opportunity to play with other string students. Violinists, violists, and cellists of all ages and levels are invited. A play-in is where students get together and play through a set of music for fun. It is an incredible showcase of the progression of learning and the joy of sharing a common repertoire! The Suzuki repertoire is shared throughout the world, so while two violinists may not be able to speak the same language, they can make beautiful music together. 

Students should play any pieces on Play-In Repertoire List (below) they know. There is no rehearsal. So please make sure to thoroughly review the music from the repertoire list because there will be spectators.

• You must be an MSA member to participate. It's easy to join and there is an annual membership fee of only $20. JOIN HERE.

Play-In Repertoire List

This list may change at the play-in to adapt to playing levels and instruments of students who attend.

Violinists, be prepared to play Twinkles through Perpetual Motion one string lower to match the violas and cellos. 

Violists and cellists are welcome play duets or other harmony parts that match the violin keys. Use music at this LINK or ask your teacher what works for you. There are not harmonies for every piece on this list. If you are playing harmonies, feel free to bring music, a stand, and clothes pins to keep your music from blowing away.
