Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Offers Summer String Lessons for Community Children, Adults
VALDOSTA — The Regional Center for Continuing Education and the South Georgia String Project have once again teamed up to offer a summer series of classes for community children and adults who want to continue their study of the violin, viola, cello, or bass at Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ.
Interested students must be at least 8 years of age and must have already taken the equivalent of at least one semester of stringed instrument instruction. The summer series of classes will meet from 4:30 p.m. to 5:20 p.m. on eight Tuesdays and eight Thursdays between June 7 and July 28. Tuition is $69 per person or $150 for a family of three or more.
Founded in 1993, the South Georgia String Project encourages the enjoyment of music and self-expression through the study of a musical instrument and actively seeks to provide opportunities for student leadership, parental participation, and involvement in the greater community. It is a joint venture of the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Department of Music and the Valdosta Symphony Orchestra.
Operating under the leadership of Dr. Kristin Pfeifer Yu, director and master teacher, the South Georgia String Project provides a music program where community members ages 8 to adult can easily access low-cost stringed instrument instruction. It also provides a valuable, mentored teaching experience for students pursuing music degrees at Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ. Technique classes, private lessons, and four levels of group classes are available after school during the fall and spring semesters.
Call (229) 245-6484 or visit the Regional Center for Continuing Education at 903 N. Patterson St. to register for the summer string series or to learn more.
