Welcome to the EAGLE School strings program! We offer ensemble classes and private cello, viola, and violin lessons to children of all ages and levels.
Our ensembles perform on two school-wide concerts in December and May, and our private students have the opportunity to perform on at least two solo recitals each year. We strongly encourage our students to participate in both lessons and an ensemble class, and the vast majority of students in the strings program at EAGLE do both. Students who take lessons outside of school are welcome to play in an ensemble class.

Private lessons are taught one-on-one and are the bread and butter of what we do. In their private lessons, students learn everything from the fundamentals of playing their instrument, to how to successfully practice at home. Lessons are during QRT periods or the lunch/recess hour and are 40 minutes.
Ensemble classes are a wonderful opportunity for students to learn to play together. They provide a social aspect to learning an instrument and help develop a sense of community. Ensemble classes include weekly rehearsals and school concerts in December and May.
