The program is open to all and includes classes at two levels of music experience. Tuition is free, and donations are welcome.

String Ensemble is for advanced beginner to intermediate violin, viola, cello, and bass players of all ages who want to play fun tunes arranged for string orchestra. Sessions will be 10-11 a.m. June 14 and 21 and July 12, 19, and 26 at St. Paul’s Lutheran Family, 1201 N. Saliman Road.

Introduction to Fiddle and Folk Music is primarily for younger students, and violinists, violists and cellists of any age who have limited experience. Participants must be able to play a one-octave D scale and read notes within the staff. Sessions will be 10-11 a.m. June 20 and 27 and July 11, 18, and 25 at the Studio of Sue Jesch, 357 Fairview Drive, across from Lowe’s, above Dog-Eared Books.
