Charleston County School District is pleased to offer string instrument instruction to students in the 5th grade. Classes will meet during school and will be free of charge. Instruction will be offered on violin, viola, cello, and bass. The choice of instrument is up to the parents and student.
Learning to play an instrument and participating in the orchestra opens up a whole new world of opportunities, challenges, friendship, and fun. Your child will be able to take advantage of musical performances and competitions at the local, state, and regional level through middle and high school.
Orchestra provides a great foundation for your child in all aspects of life. In addition to music, students learn self-discipline, problem-solving, goal-setting, self-expression, memory skills, concentration, poise, enhanced physical coordination, high self-esteem, and the importance of teamwork—skills in great demand in almost every aspect of life. Like all the arts, music has a profound effect on the academic success of students.
