Meet in groups of 3 or 4 students. Each student has an individual lesson on a piece
that is technically and musically mastered, while the other students and parents
observe and grasp practice points applicable to their own studies.
Stress ensemble, technique, and tone production through the review of repertoire
up to and including the student's current book level.
Through participation in games, exercises, and improvisations, students learn to
combine music and movement in order to develop rhythmic unity between the eye,
ear, mind, and body.
Do art and music have any connections? Yes! Learn to express yourself through
another modality. Students will be creating a variety of art projects
throughout the institute that incorporate many different textures and mediums.
Please plan on bringing an extra T-shirt/paint shirt that can be worn during

and cellos.
