We're excited to offer Strings instruction for Elementary & Middle School students!  This program, included in tuition, takes place before school (7:30-8:15 a.m.) in the Fine Arts Cottage and is run by Music Teacher Dr. Carissa Gibson. Those interested should email Carissa indicating interest and instrument preference (violin, viola, or cello) no later than Monday, August 14.

• A schedule based on interest will be developed and shared, with once-weekly instruction beginning August 21.
• In order to ensure all participants make the most progress, Springmont's Strings Program has a strict attendance policy – students may not miss more than 3 sessions per semester.
• Springmont provides instruments and supplies, but students will be asked to provide their own all-black concert attire.

Beginning Strings - (Limited to 12 students on a first-come, first-served basis) - This class is open to Elementary students who have not played before. Students may elect to play the violin, viola, or cello, based on availability. Students will work on posture and technique and be able to play a simple piece at our May 2 recital. Regular attendance is required as it is important for learning and growth.

Intermediate Strings - This class is for returning students who would like to continue their Strings studies. Students will work on technique, scales, and pieces and will perform at our December 7 and May 2 recitals. Regular attendance is required as it is important for learning and growth.

Chamber Orchestra - Advanced students will be invited to join our Chamber group. Regular attendance is required as it is important for the group to have all members present for each class. Students will perform at our December 7 and May 2 recitals.
