Allegro! Beginning Strings Camp

Camp Description

“Allegro!” is a beginning course for students interested in starting a stringed instrument. Explore your interest in violin, viola, or cello!  Our daily schedule will include a focus on building a strong foundation with your instrument, posture, bow technique, and tone production. We will progress to learning beginning pieces using open strings and then to playing beginning songs! Also included are daily music theory and reading games and activities, to strengthen your music knowledge and note reading skills. Each week will end with a joyful performance!
