For new musicians. This class is the first step in a lifelong rewarding journey of music and art. Students receive in-person classes twice a week and two tracked practice sessions at home. Instructors and assistants help each student learn the fundamentals of their string instrument, learn efficient practice techniques, and introduce students to playing together in ensemble. At the end of the semester, students perform in a class recital and graduate to the Camerata Ensemble.
Camerata Ensemble – Full String Orchestra (Ongoing)
For Instrumental Technique graduates and students with string experience. Students rehearse twice per week in a full orchestra including violins, violas, and cellos. Students study complex polyphonic music, develop the ability to follow a conductor, and work as a team all while they learn the nuances of expression, intonation, and articulation. Pieces start as simple 4-part orchestrations and finish with standard repertoire.
