Get to know some of the jazz licks of the 16th century. This is fantastic way to build left and right hand facility and ear/hand coordination while learning the ornaments that evolved into the gorgeous violin improvisations of Corelli’s time. (Violinists age 13-16)
Thursdays, 4:30 - 5:20pm
In the Book 2 after-school sessions, students will practice Suzuki Book 2 songs together, focusing on bowing and left-hand techniques to help make these favorites easy and fun. This class is for students who want to sound terrific on their Book 2 songs and are ready to develop skills - through scales, bow exercises, etc - to prepare them for Books 3 and 4. (Book 2 violinists)
Tuesdays, 5:30 - 6:20pm
Being able to read is essential for playing in any classical ensemble. Students who develop strong sight-reading skills walk into rehearsals with much more ease and confidence, and they save a lot of time and energy as they prepare those parts. The students in the sight-reading class will learn to de-code key signatures, deepen their understanding of meters and rhythms, and practice countless excerpts together. (Violinists ages 12-15).
Wednesdays, 4:30 - 5:20pm
These sessions are for middle school violinists in the Philadelphia public schools. Students will prepare the orchestra repertoire together and work through built-in rhythm-reading practice and tone work to improve their orchestral skills. (For Philadelphia SD middle school violinists)
