MusicLIVE Strings - Violin, Viola & Cello
Please note: All classes are being held online until further notice. Current students, please visit the Student Hub for instructions and assignments.
Learning to play a musical instrument can bring lifetime of enjoyment, and do some pretty amazing things along the way!
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.
