After-School Group Classes
Students who enroll will meet twice a week after school at their assigned site and learn the basics of violin, viola, or cello in a group setting. Each class has up to 10 students and lasts 45 minutes. Classes take place throughout the week at YOSL partner sites.
YOSL After-School program serves grades 2 and up and offers instruction in violin, viola, and cello. Interested students in grades 2, 3, 4, or 5 must attend one of YOSL’s partner sites (see list below). Participating students receive instruments, instrument accessories, group lessons, and access to family workshops and Orchestra of St. Luke’s concerts for the year.
