Musical Offerings
Group Violin
Join us virtually or in-person for the 2020-2021 school year for Strings of the African Diaspora starting in October! These classes are open to beginner and intermediate students from ages 7-11. If your child has at least 1 year of prior experience, an audition is required to assess their performance skills. Visit the group class page for a more in-depth look at our curriculum and to submit an inquiry.
Private Lessons
Students who wish to take their performance to the next level can take private violin lessons virtually only via Zoom. These lessons are tailored to your child’s individual learning style and musical ability. Through technique, theory and performance training, our instructors support your child in developing their own musical voice. We offer 30, 45 or 60 minute lessons throughout the week.

Unique Curriculum
At YOUTH, inclusion and representation is the foundation of your child’s experience as we guide their musical journey. Our goal is to give our students the foundation and resources to develop a sense of musical ownership. Students will experience music visually, aurally and kinesthetically to develop connections between music and the world around them. With this intuitive curriculum, students will gain musical independence, performance adaptability, diverse repertoire and authentic exposure.
Independence
–
Through varied experiences with the music they are learning, YOUTH’s students are able to pull from an arsenal of knowledge to facilitate their independent practice.
adaptability
–
By encouraging students to engage with music aurally, visually, and physically, YOUTH develops sensitive musicians who can adjust to the needs of a piece and ensemble.
Diversity
–
Through this unique curriculum, YOUTH’s students will learn the necessary technique, theory and performance skills to be able to compete at a high level of performance.
Exposure
–
By connecting with local musicians, YOUTH will guide students to connect with music beyond the classroom by exposing them to the musical culture in their own community.
