How much is the summer strings camp?
The fee for summer strings is $110 for the three week camp that meets M-F.
What is the tryout night like if they have never played before?
It is very simple! The students tryout the instrument they like the most and get fitted for the proper size! We will show them how to play their instruments during the three week camp. They do not need prior experience!
How does this process work for 4th graders? Is orchestra in middle school or does it start in 5th grade?
The 4th graders take summer orchestra this summer to get their start. We currently offer an After School Orchestra Club for the 5th graders during the school year. Dates and times for the 2023-24 After School Orchestra Club will be released during the summer program. Orchestra meets as a class daily in 6th grade.
What are they committing to by trying out and doing summer strings?
They are committing to the joy of making music! Music takes time, so what they are getting into is a process that will take a few years to master, but provide a lifetime of benefits! You’ll be amazed at the progress they make from 5-8 grade and even more so at the high school level.
