Strings in the Schools program begins Sept. 5
Carson City Symphony's comprehensive program of string instruction begins the first week of September, after school, at three schools in Carson City. Strings in the Schools, directed by the Symphony's Education Director, Sue Jesch, provides free beginning violin lessons for students grades 2-5 and ensemble/orchestra experience for string students in all grades. Tuition and books are subsidized by the Carson City Symphony Association.
Enrollment is limited to Carson City public-, private-, and home-school students, and classes will be filled on a first come, first served basis. Some scholarships are available for instruments. To register, and for more information, call (775) 450-5584.
Beginning Violin, for students in Grades 2-5, is held after school until 4:10 p.m., on Mondays beginning September 10 at Bordewich Bray Elementary School, 110 Thompson Street, and on Wednesdays beginning September 5 at Empire Elementary School, 1260 Monte Rosa Drive. Students may enroll for either session.
String Ensemble, for students who have had previous experience on violin, viola, cello, bass, or harp, is held after school on Thursdays, 3:40-4:30 p.m. beginning September 6, at the band room at Carson High School, 1111 N. Saliman Road.
STRAZZ, an alternative-styles orchestra for more advanced string players, is open to high school and middle school string students by invitation. It is held on Thursdays, 2:45-3:40 p.m., beginning September 6, in the band room at Carson High School.
Carson City Symphony's Strings in the Schools program is funded in part by grants from the Nevada Arts Council, a state agency, and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency; Partnership Carson City; the Sierra Philharmonic League; and private donations.
