STRING IT TOGETHER is our orchestra for students new to playing in an orchestra. Such students may be young students in an elementary or middle school orchestra, or they may never have played in an orchestra at all.
The goal of the course is to help students learn to be comfortable with the customs and expectations of playing in a large ensemble. We'll emphasize listening and reading skills, as well as the concept of ensemble focus: how does one approach and perform music in such a group.
There will be two sessions of
String It Together:
Session I: June 14 - July 1 and
Session II: July 12 - 29. Classes will meet
10:00 AM - Noon on Mondays and Thursdays during those periods. Students are welcome to sign up for either session, or for both. While the general concepts worked on will be the same for the two sessions, specific music chosen will be different. It is not necessary to attend Session I in order to attend Session II.
Jeff Whitmill, Director of St. Barnabas Center for the Arts, will conduct the orchestra.
Lisa Berman and
Sheila Graves will assist, as will several high school volunteers. Music used will be excerpted from Ms. Berman's forthcoming orchestra book,
String It Together. For this summer, the music will be provided at no cost to students.
TUITION RATES FOR THE CURRENT TERM:
$144.00 for Session I: June 14 - July 1
$144.00 for Session II: July 12 - 29
$274.00 for Both Sessions
Recommended for students 7 and above. For younger students, please consult our teachers first.
