Kids Group Class / Ensemble Program
Join this exploration of Old Time and Americana music for experienced string players.
Our kids’ ensembles are great for kids who are looking to expand their playing experience. As a part of the ensemble, students pursue their instrument while learning to play in a group. Ensemble playing gives students a greater sense of their instruments’ role and allows them to express individuality in a group. The experience of playing in a band or ensemble reinforces and rejuvenates kids’ musical learning.
