Description
In this primer for our group instrumental classes, students explore music from around the world and experience a range of instruments from the winds, brass, strings and percussion families. Through hands-on demonstrations and visits from guest musicians, students learn how instruments work. Students are introduced to the piano, violin and guitar throughout the year, learning basic rhythms, musical patterns, notation and singing on pitch in preparation for group class and private lesson instruction.
