The Orchestra class is a one-year course of study that offers instruction on violin, viola, cello, and string bass as well as a piano accompaniment and occasionally percussion instruments. Students are expected to have orchestral experience, can tune themselves, and play in tune with others. Students will build on prior knowledge while learning skills including shifting and vibrato.This class is open to any student who wishes to better their skills on their current instrument or begin a new instrument. Students will learn performance practices while exploring string orchestra literature from various time periods. This is a performance-based
class; participation in performances is mandatory. A limited number of school-owned instruments are available for use but most students will need to obtain their own.
