The Prelude String Ensemble provides string music instruction and ensemble experiences for our youngest musicians to prepare them for the Camerata String Orchestra in Trimester 3. Students with little to no experience on their instruments learn how to hold and play the instrument of their choice, as well as how to read music. Students with any poor playing habits they picked up in their studies before 6th grade will be corrected. Students will also learn the fundamentals of orchestral playing and how to practice effectively at home. This is where students develop a love for string literature! The Prelude String Ensemble performs one or two concerts per season.
