Orchestra

Rehearsals are a time for our students to make music together as a coordinated team. Think of it like a scrimmage game - we are simultaneously practicing and performing as a team. The focus is on the group as a whole. Rehearsals take place on days 2 and 5.

Lessons are a time for students to develop individual technique and skills. The focus is on each individual students' playing skills and to lay the ground work for more advanced techniques such as shifting and vibrato.
