After-School Program

Opus 118 offers the After-School Program to students who wish to develop their musical talent through the best possible instruction and mentorship. Since 2002, the program has served as a positive element in the lives of children. Students enrolled in the After-School Program attend weekly private, group, and ensemble lessons in the afternoon and evenings. Students of all ages are trained in violin, viola, cello, guitar, and piano. Monthly recitals and community performances for families, friends, and the general public showcase these students’ hard work. 

 

COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

Lessons

  • Individual Lessons (violin, viola, cello, guitar, and piano): Individual lessons are the foundation of a student’s music education. Concentrated work and individual attention promote enthusiasm and development of a student’s skills.
  • Partner Lessons (violin, viola, cello, guitar, and piano): Partner lessons are designed for two students who want to share their learning experience. The teacher will place two students together who can benefit from mutual observation.
  • Group Classes (violin): Consisting of no more than eight students, our Intro to Violin class is a great way for students to get to know the instrument in a group setting!
