Please bring a lunch, your instrument, a folding music stand, rock stop (cello and bass), pencils, notebook, a copy of the required all-state etudes and orchestral excerpts, and a “ready to learn” attitude!

The $25 Administration Fee is non-refundable.

Class sizes cary, but most class sizes are limited to 8-10 students per class. We strive to keep the class size small to make sure teachers can give individual attention to each student.

Classes are divided into three levels:

All-State Track: Former All-State members or those who have learned both of their etudes completely.

Region Track: Students who haven’t learned their etudes yet, but are interested in learning the All-State excerpts for auditioning.

Technique Track: Students who are interested in auditioning for Region only

If you are unsure of which class you should be in, ask your private teacher, orchestra director, or contact us.

Unfortunately, unforeseen events happen. We are unable to reimburse you for any missed days since our instructors are hired several months ahead of time.
