One on One Private Lesson

(Stringed instrument Violin & Viola & Cello)

​

In Addition to your regular private lessons with your instruments, ensemble/ orchestra class might be a good way for your to incorporate your music musicianship, techniques in ensemble playing and more. 

​

We encourage students who are only taking private stringed lesson to join our group class for performances or weekly rehearsal. Group setting provides a fun and engaging environment for students to develop their listening, reading and playing stringed instruments.

MUSICA STRINGS CHAMBER ORCHESTRA

Open to students who are preparing to audition for the other Calgary's larger orchestra or want to stay in smaller chamber orchestra for more individual attention.  (audition and separate private lesson are required for this level). This level allows for students to acquire valuable chamber ensemble experience. Students who play their stringed instruments as their 2nd instruments can also join, given that they are proficient at music reading with their first instrument. Practicing requirement for orchestra music is less than private lesson and therefore, this is a good alternative way to learn stringed instrument as their 2nd or 3rd instruments given their other extra curricular activities and school workload's commitment.
