An introduction to playing the violin or viola for teens who are new to, or considering taking up the instrument.
Class Experience
This class is an introduction to violin and/or viola basics, aimed at teens who are curious or just starting out. Taught by a teacher who first took music lessons at the age of 23, the first message is: "it's not too late to learn!" We will cover the parts of the instruments, how to make your first sounds (pizzicato notes and open string bowing), and how to relate the sounds to treble clef or alto clef sheet music. We will also discuss some of the challenges and triumphs of learning to play...
- Students will gain knowledge about the violin/viola and how to make basic sounds.
Bring along your violin/viola if you have one (this is not required to join the class). If you don't have one yet, bring along a pencil or pen so that you can practice the hand shape needed to hold a violin bow!
