Description:

Beginning players will learn how to properly care for their instrument and develop proper bowing technique and finger positioning, foundational music theory, rhythm, note reading, and more. As players progress, lessons will build on foundational skills by refining their technique, expanding their reading skills, and enhancing control over dynamics and articulation.
