Welcome Didion Families!  We have had a great first semester, and are accepting new 1st - 3rd grade students into the program for 2nd semester.  No previous musical experience is necessary!  As our program grows,  more classes will be offered for advancing students.   Students in grades 4+ may join as well,  knowing that the class is primarily geared towards younger students.  Students should come to rm. 19 directly after classroom dismissal. 

PLEASE NOTE - The flier that went out says 2nd semester beings Feb. 6th.  We added one more week to our 1st semester, so 2nd semester begins Feb. 13th

Instructor: Ms. Amanda Shafer 
Classes will be held after school on Wednesdays in Room 19 fro 2:00 - 3:00 
Space is limited to 16 students in all beginning classes, and enrollment is on a first come, first serve basis.

 Mozart Violin  -  ​Wednesdays  2:00 - 3:00   rm. 19 
Beginning violin for our youngest musicians!   Students begin the year on "practice violins" made from egg cartons, and learn the basics of posture and bow movement through fun songs, games, and exercises. Soon they move to their real instruments, and are playing "The Monkey Song" and "Twinkle Rhythm"!  Open to all students in grades 1 - 3.  Students in grades 4+ may join the class, knowing that it is geared towards younger children.   Parents are welcome and encouraged to stay for class.   

2nd semester classes are a continuation of 1st semester classes, but are designed so that new incoming students are able to learn skills and songs necessary to join the group.  A 45 minute Intro to Violin Workshop is available at no extra charge to all new incoming students. The February workshop is scheduled for Friday, Feb. 15th at 6pm.  at our midtown location.  Workshop is for parents and students.  Returning families are welcome to attend if they would like a refresher course in violin basics.  More information on the workshop will be sent out upon registration.  

Individual tutoring  is available for all students. We currently have lesson available on Saturday mornings and Friday afternoons. Please contact ingrid.peters@sacima.org for questions about joining the Mozart class, the new student workshop, or scheduling private tutoring sessions.
