Advanced Orchestra in rehearsal
Intermediate Orchestra in rehearsal
Led by Mrs. Tami King, Intermediate Orchestra introduces young string players to ensemble playing. The energetic rehearsals are the perfect platform for learning to follow a conductor, listen to others’ parts, follow cues for tempo, dynamics and style, and keep pace with a group. Students learn rehearsal etiquette, the value of contribution, and the joy of performance.

Music in Motion helps instill basic musical rhythm
Many musical skills can be learned away from the instrument, and this class explores ways to put music into the body. Some of these are stepping in tempo and style, clapping rhythms, singing, conducting, listening, call and response, passing a pattern in tempo or identifying changes in what you hear. Mrs. Francisco guides this class – giggles are frequent as we have fun exploring music together! (Parents can do this class with the kids!)
Rhythm Games
We at SoundPoint Strings believe strongly in the value of the home, and the parents’ involvement in raising children. We believe that music is very important for children to experience, but its true value and power are magnified when parents are involved. Many parents don’t have a model for parental involvement in music beyond paying for lessons and pushing the child to practice, so these sessions give us a venue to discuss our role, special issues involved with rearing musical children. and how incredibly valuable it is to the child’s growth and the family’s stability
