In Upper Perk, we learn stringed instruments beginning in 3rd grade. This is mainly because stringed instruments come in "kid" sizes. We learn the basics of reading music notation and progress to playing in a string orchestra.

Stringed instrument lessons are free. Group lessons are held during the school day at every school. Orchestra rehearsals are scheduled for after school.

Renting an instrument is recommended while your child is still growing. This will make it easier and cost efficient to change sizes as needed.

Orchestra is the place to be for a fun musical challenge!
