Open to all students who had a minimum of one year of playing experience on violin, viola, cello or bass. This class builds on the knowledge and skills already learned and challenges the students with higher level performance skills. In addition to the basic concepts, other music concepts will be developed that include, but not limited to, development of better intonation, intermediate bowing skills, explorations of alternate fingerings, intermediate level time and key signature, complex rhythm, and more music vocabulary in the category of dynamics, tempo and articulations. A wide variety of music is explored, as well as music theory, music history and ear training. During the school year students are required to practice at home daily and to attend all after school rehearsals and evening performances.
