The After-School Program at Opus 118 recently added an Introduction to Violin group class for kindergarten and first grade students. This class meets the needs of those students who wish to learn to play violin, but may not yet be ready to commit to weekly private lessons in the After-School Program's 30-week academic year. The classes meet for twice-weekly sessions, on Mondays and Fridays, and focus on instrument set-up and basic sound production.
Class size is limited to no more than ten students, to meet the individual learning needs of each student. In addition to this high level of teacher involvement, students support one another, creating a fun environment in which to learn. The class also prepares students to start private or partner lessons upon graduation, by fostering good posture and sound production.
The Introduction to Violin classes began in December and another class with a brand new crop of students will begin next week and we're really looking forward to it!
