Advanced beginner/intermediate skill level.

This is an adult level class but is open to students with a basic understanding of their instrument. Younger students are welcome if accompanied by an adult - we love parent/grandparent/grandchild combinations!

What to bring: String instrument of choice, notebook and/or recording device.

Prerequisites: Beginner level knowledge of your instrument. Feel free to email us if you have questions! 

Please note, this is a 12-week class taught over 13 weeks. No class the week of Thanksgiving.
