About This Activity
Prerequisite skills: Completion of a Beginning Strings class (or equivalent) or 1 year of private lessons. New and returning orchestra students are welcome. Junior Orchestra is the first orchestral experience for students to encounter a heterogeneous string ensemble. The focus of the class is reading music, playing under a conductor, developing ensemble skills, and performing beginning to intermediate grade level music. This class will prepare students for the Campus String Orchestra and Leadership & Performance for Strings programs. It is also a great supplemental ensemble opportunity for students currently taking private lessons. A performance opportunity is offered at the end of each 10-week quarter. Instruments are not provided, and families are encouraged to rent with a respectable instrument shop. (Contact the Arts Center for recommendations). Director: Katherine Mercier 10 week quarters *Students 1st-3rd grade should be accompanied by an adult
