Group Class

Group Classes take place every Monday from 5:00-5:45 at Siloam United Church.

Group class provides a unique learning environment in which students of all ages and levels come to play, listen and learn together.

Younger students in the class find motivation in watching what the older students can do and acquire immense listening skills and sensitivity to music through hearing advanced repertoire on a weekly basis.

Older students have the chance to act as mentors and take on leadership roles. They begin to thoroughly master skills from the constant repetition of the basics. This strong foundation is the building block that leads to better understanding and mastering of more advanced techniques.

Group class is made up of weekly challenges, listening, review, movement, theory games and lots of fun! It is a musical community where children and adults come together to play music, chat, learn and grow. We work together to complete weekly assignments and prepare for recitals. The best way to learn any musical instrument is to play with other musicians. The act of participating in group class enriches our developing character as human beings as well as our growing musical abilities.

There are four recitals throughout the year all taking place on Sundays at 2:00 at Siloam United Church:

1. Halloween Recital (solo performances, graduations & reception)
2. Holiday Recital (featuring duets, ensembles and the Fiddle Class)
3. February/March Recital (solo performances, graduations & fundraising)
4. Year End Recital (Group Class Performance and Fiddle Class)
