Violin Demonstration: Tuesday, April 3rd: 11:15 – 12:15
Hollywood Community House
3 1/2 years – kindergarten

To further encourage my students to explore their own musical talents and interests, I have asked music teachers from A Sound Education to bring and demonstrate a new instrument to one Mighty Maestros class during each 8-week session. In addition to learning about the violin, students will also have the opportunity to participate in the Mighty Maestros class during which we will learn about the beat with a beanbag toss, explore pitch with a giant parachute, and practice rhythms on the large drum. This is a free event, but students who are not registered for the Mighty Maestros class will need to register online or call (708)704-1716. Space is limited, so don’t delay!

As the daughter of a symphony violinist, this instrument is very close to my heart, and I can’t wait to share its beauty with my Mighty Maestros students and the students of Hollywood School. Feel free to pass this invitation along to friends and neighbors!

Hope to see you there!

Ms. Clara
