A hands-on class for young children who would like to have fun in a kinesthetic group class, emphasizing piano basics, movement, visual art, and singing as a catalyst to get the fingers working on the keyboard. Guest instruments could appear from time to time, such as Celtic harp; hand drums, to reinforce rhythms and steady beat in children, a piano basics skill; ukuleles; and Tibetan singing bowls. Learning about how these other instruments work gives a basis to the piano work as well. Parents are asked to join us!

Available to violinists with AT LEAST 3 years experience. Youth, teens, and adults welcome!
(Strong violists who are very comfortable reading treble clef are welcome too!)

Have you been playing violin and want to learn how to play with a pick or explore new styles of music? Did you know that the mandolin has the same tuning as a violin? Did you know that there is violin music that also works for mandolin?

For years, violinists and fiddlers have found enjoyment thru playing mandolin and have found that its tuning makes it an easy way to learn a new instrument. Laurel School of Music teacher Scott Keever has created a workshop specifically for violinists interested in the mandolin.

In four sessions, you’ll learn how to hold the instrument and how to hold a pick; to play rhythm differently and how to play with frets; and how the mandolin works as a solo instrument and within an ensemble. Join us and explore how to play melodies AND CHORDS using this exciting cousin to the violin!

Don’t own a mandolin? NO PROBLEM!
Optional instrument loan is included in your workshop tuition – register to find out more!
