Beginning Orchestra
Beginning Orchestra is an exciting step up for students who have completed at least one year of Applied Strings. This class is designed to build upon the foundational skills they have acquired and take their musical abilities to the next level - full string ensemble.
​
In this class, students will continue to learn from Essential Elements 2000 - Book 1 and will begin exploring Essential Elements 2000 - Book 2. These method books are designed to enhance understanding of musical concepts and techniques.
​
Additionally, the class will offer opportunities for concentrated, small group sessions with section instructors. Ultimately, Beginning Orchestra is aimed toward improving students’ specific skills, building confidence, and helping each one become a more proficient and self-assured musician.
​
It is highly recommended that students simultaneously participate in a theory class. Those with previous theory experience may take a placement test to find the most appropriate level for them. Be sure to add it to your cart when enrolling!
