Description:

Take your young strings player's technical and musical skills to the next level! This class builds on the foundation of the Pre-Twinkle Violin class, adding new technical and musical skills with each piece of repertoire. Students will continue to hone their ensemble skills and reinforce and enhance the work done in their private lessons. 
 
Students in the Suzuki-Alegre Program are required to enroll in private lessons in conjunction with their group class. This method is proven to have outstanding results for young string players. Learn more about private violin lessons at Merit here. 

Regular parent attendance at all private lessons and group classes is required for students up to age 10. For students age 11 and up, please confirm the parent attendance requirements for your child with both your group class and private lesson teachers. 

Don’t forget your instrument! Every student will need their own instrument before the first day of class. Check out Merit's Music & Instrument Library to learn about your instrument rental options, or contact Strings Program Manager, Nicole Hernandez (nhernandez@meritmusic.org), for instrument purchase recommendations.
