About the String Academy
The String Academy is a program geared toward the beginning string player.* Both private and group lessons are available for string students between the ages of 6 and 18. Students receive twelve (12) private lessons and four (4) group lessons each semester.
In addition to learning how to play a string instrument, students will discover and learn note-reading skills and rhythms through a variety of games. Group lessons will be organized by age and ability.
It is integral to the student’s success that a parent attend each lesson.
*Students with prior violin experience should contact Benjamin Whitcomb, the Director and Coordinator (see right for contact information).
Fees
12 private lessons/4 group lessons per semester: $236
Note: Upon receipt of your child's registration, the coordinator will contact you to set up private and group lesson times.
