WHAT: Strings classes for students in 4th–6th grade with the option to learn violin, viola, cello, or bass. Classes are free with minimal cost for instrument rental (scholarships available). P.S. — If you have a child interested in starting strings outside grades 4–6, consider our Suzuki Program (starting at age 4) or private lessons (all ages).
WHEN: Twice a week, during or after school, all school year, starting at the end of September.
WHERE: See class locations near you.
WHY: Music education is an amazing tool for helping children develop—engaging them creatively, challenging them intellectually, and building strong relationships with students and teachers. We believe you can bring out a child’s potential through music, and our talented faculty and high-quality programming are designed to do just that.

Suzuki Program Information
The Suzuki method is a very unique way of learning music and it is different from the traditional method.
