violas!
Last weekend was the end of the year concert and all-day celebration of The People's Music School community music programs. I'm super proud of the violists I worked with this year, they are such a fun bunch of kids and I hope it's a group that will return and stay together in the fall. The students only got their hands on instruments in mid-February and are off to such a great start.
This was a new community program for the The People's Music School and it was fun to be a part of it at the beginning. We saw the kids for six hours a week after school, which gave us enough time to cover a lot of material, play a lot of games, and do a lot of listening and performing over the past couple months. We had so much support from the teachers and administration at the CPS school, as well as from the parents; I think it's going to be a really positive program for everyone involved.
I'm already looking forward to next year, with a whole year of viola class these guys will be unstoppable!
