Participants must be able to play a one-octave D scale and read notes within the staff.
The later session, String Ensemble, meets from 10:45 to 11:45 a.m. It is for advanced beginner to intermediate players of all ages. The ensemble will play arrangements of fun orchestra tunes arranged for violin, viola, cello, and bass.
