The Orchestra Program at Metro and West Campuses (Ages 6-18)
Jan. 8 - May 14, 2022 | Saturdays, times vary by location | FREE
The Orchestra Program (TOP) classes are presented in a dynamic, intense and fun way that will incorporate instruction in all of the elements necessary to deeply learn how to play in an ensemble setting, from string orchestra all the way to a symphonic orchestra. By focusing on a mastery-based approach to music education, while inspiring a high standard of excellence, students will develop lifelong musical, social and leadership skills which position them for success in their everyday lives.
All programs serve musicians of all abilities and consist of coordinated classes in orchestra rehearsal and sectionals or group instrumental lessons. Programs also include music theory and do not require music reading skills. Students are evaluated and placed in levels appropriate to their experience.
This program culminates into a final performance at the end of the semester.
During this difficult time of economic transition, we will keep programs free for our students and their families, but if you are willing and able to support us in this effort, please donate here.
