In Person: Beginning Orchestra: Gr. 5
Youth / Art, Theater, Music & Creativity -
Youth Summer 2021
This class is open to all beginning string players going into fifth grade this fall. Violin, Viola, Cello, and Bass are the instruments offered. Your instrument, lesson book (Essential Elements for Strings: Book 1), and 3-ring binder are required for participation in the class.
*Students should drop off their instrument at the class location on the Friday before class begins. This will allow Mrs. Darby time to tune and tape instruments before the first class.
This is a great way to get a head start on playing your instrument! Please contact the instructor if you need assistance in securing an instrument or for further information. (Kyrsten.Darby@edinaschools.org).
