Daily Activities

​

A daily schedule will feature a minimum of a masterclass, group class(es) like technique/performance, and an orchestra or movement class.  Fiddling is available as an enrichment for interested string students.

​

Daily recitals at 1pm are an opportunity for students to showcase their polished piece (at the recommendation of the masterclass teacher).

​

Class Descriptions 

​

• Masterclass:  Typically 3 or 4 students of similar skill levels rotating with individual instruction from a teacher.  Students should come prepared with a polished/mastered piece to play on the first day.

​

• Technique Class:  A medium-sized group of students working on technical challenges appropriate to the skill levels of the class as a whole.

​

• Performance Class:  This larger group class tends to focus on polishing repertoire to be performed on an Institute concert.

​

• Orchestra:  For music-reading students (usually late Book 1 and about age 7 and up).  Orchestra focuses on applying reading skills in a team/ensemble environment.

​

• Movement Class:  Students not yet ready for orchestra will be placed into a movement class which is a fun environment to work on listening skills, teamwork, and other aspects of feeling music.

​

• Fiddling (Enrichment):  Available for violin, viola, cello students of all ages and skill levels interested in learning "non-classical" tunes and styles.
