Yes, we have fun!!
Our program has several important cornerstones. We believe that music should be taught in encouraging and friendly ways, and through a variety of methods, because not all students have the same personality to learn at the same speed.
We also believe that performing is a valuable learning experience, and that the greater the variety of performing opportunities, the better that experience. We have performed at serious symphony concerts and we have also spiked our hair and played rock music!
Our musical styles include: bluegrass, old-time, ethnic, classical, rock, folk and baroque.
We are scheduled to perform or appear at ten community events in 2014-2015.
What will you receive?
There are three parts to your Bravo Strings experience. Each student receives:
Instruments Available for Instruction: Violin, Viola, Cello, Bass

What will you receive?
There are three parts to your Bravo Strings experience. Each student receives:
- Once-weekly 25-minute semi-private lessons from October through May, which focus on acquiring technique and developing memorization skills using Suzuki curriculum series
- A once-weekly 30 minute large group "jam" session which promotes a casual and fun environment for learning musical styles outside the Suzuki curriculum. These session occur before school on Mondays or Tuesdays.
- A once-weekly one-hour orchestra rehearsal which focuses on note-reading and orchestral playing technique and etiquette. These rehearsals occur immediately after school on Thursdays and include a provided after-school snack.
