Strings Class 2
Students must be placed into this course by either having completed String Class 1 or by preparing a piece. Violin, viola, and cello are all welcome in this class. During this session, we will continue the physical & theoretical music skills from String Class 1, but the goal will be focused more on playing as an ensemble, going much deeper into performance studies. On week 2, I will be presenting a few practice pieces separate from our books that we will work on as a group and perform at the end of the course! Bring your bow to string and let’s begin!
