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.

String It Together will run Mondays and Thursdays, 10:00 am - noon, June 20 - July 28. There will be no class on Monday, July 4.

Jeff Whitmill, Director of St. Barnabas Center for the Arts, will conduct the orchestra. SBCA string faculty Lisa Berman, Sheila Graves and Irine Merz will assist, along with some high school volunteers. Music used will be excerpted from Ms. Berman's orchestra book, String It Together.

TUITION: $275


Recommended for students 7 and above. For younger students, please consult our teachers first.
