Want your fourth or fifth grader to join the Elementary String Orchestra hosted by Hopkins Orchestra? Hopkins Orchestra will have an assembly (performance and info session) after school in the MUR next Monday (August 31st) at 3pm. Please see the info below shared by the Hopkins orchestra teacher——

Elementary String Orchestras
Students study the basics of string instrument technique and music theory. They work on improving their technique and skills through exercises, etudes, small group playing, full orchestra literature, and method book study. Students participate in 2 concerts during the school year. We ask for a one-time donation of $300 to help cover the costs of the program.
