(The Strings Registration Demonstration is scheduled for Wednesday, August 21.)
Do you want to learn how to play the Violin? Viola? Cello? String Bass? Beginning Strings class instruction is offered at Grahamwood Elementary school as part of the Shelby County Schools curriculum for fifth grade students. This class will prepare your child for the Strings and Orchestra classes which are offered at the middle and high school levels in many of the Shelby County Schools. When is it taught? Class will meet twice each week, on Monday and Thursday mornings, from 7:30 a.m. to 8:20 a.m. Our first official class will be Thursday morning, August 29th. What does it cost? There are no instruction fees or lesson payments. You will need to purchase–at a local music store–your own method book and supplies, which will cost about $25. Renting an instrument from one of the local music stores will cost $100-$150 for the year. The school has a limited number of instruments for loan, based on need. A student must have their supplies to be eligible for a school instrument. So how do I enroll?
