ITAP also improves tone production, dynamics, sight-reading, fingerings, and bowing. Advanced classes explore different bowing styles as well as score reading. This class is recommended for the advanced instrumentalist. Semester II - The second semester of this course will follow up and intensify the previous semester while introducing basic orchestration. Private Instrumental Instruction Private instruction is offered in each orchestral instrument at all levels.
Students receive high quality individual lessons with faculty members.
Faculty are all professional musicians who love to work with students, and who emphasize techniques that enable students to grow technically and musically. During a private lesson, students work on scales, intonation, etudes, rhythmic technique, and pieces from the solo repertoire. We emphasize orchestral instruments. Pianists and guitarists may participate in our chamber music programs as long as they also play an orchestral instrument. The Children's Orchestra Society offers after school and weekend classes including chamber music, sectionals, solfege, and soloist coaching.
