Have you always wanted to play the violin, viola, or cello but never had the chance? Now’s the time! In this welcoming beginner group, you’ll learn the fundamentals of playing your instrument, reading music, and performing with others in a supportive environment. A basic understanding of how to read sheet music is helpful but not required—enthusiasm and curiosity are all you need. This class is also a great fit if you’ve taken a long break and want a gentle refresher before joining the returning players group.

Have you played the violin, viola, or cello before but taken a break? This class is the perfect way to rediscover your love of music! Dust off your instrument and join a supportive group of adult musicians as you refresh your technique, rebuild confidence, and enjoy playing together again. Participants should have prior experience reading sheet music and basic proficiency on their instrument, as this class will focus on ensemble playing and musical expression. If the instructor feels you would benefit from additional review, you may be encouraged to transfer to the Beginner Players class for a better learning experience.
