Learning to play a musical instrument can bring lifetime of enjoyment, and do some pretty amazing things along the way!  
  • ​build academic and social skills
  • improve listening skills 
  • teach perseverance, self discipline and patience, 
  • enhance coordination and fine motor skills 
Please visit our page on Why Music Matters for more information on some of the ways music can change your life! 
​
Our MusicLIVE String classes start at the very beginning and go all the way to advanced string ensembles. Our highly experienced teachers work to help students develop a joy and love for music in a supportive, engaging musical environment.  With an emphasis on proper instrument and bow technique, students learn to play fun folk songs and fiddle tunes along with classical repertoire. Note reading is introduced after strong technique is established.
Parents are urged to support and encourage the students in daily practice, and are welcome to observe classes. 
Tuition
Tuition for all MusicLIVE programs is $210 per 13-week semester plus a once-yearly enrollment and materials fee of $25 per student.  School communities that are able to secure a sponsor or do fundraising for their strings program may be able to lower student fees or offer site-based scholarships to their families.

Instruments
Students are currently responsible for getting their own instruments.  We are in the process of building our instrument library, and will soon be able to offer instruments to our string families.  Visit our page on Getting an Instrument for information on where you can rent or purchase quality instrument.   If you would like to sponsor an instrument and get it ready to go into the hands of a child, please contact us! 

Scholarships 
If you are interested in enrolling your child in one of our programs and need assistance with tuition or in getting an instrument for your child, please visit our scholarship information page. 
​

Are you able to help us provide tuition assistance for families in need?  We appreciate donations of any amount, and all funds are used towards making our programs available  and accessible to all.   We are also always looking for community sponsors to support a specific program or school site.  If you can help your school site secure a community sponsor, please contact us!
