Orchestra in the Schools cultivates the joy of musical expression.
We create opportunities for young musicians to build confidence
through the rigor and cooperation required to produce music together.
We work to foster responsible adults who appreciate artistic beauty.
We provide students throughout Monterey County
an opportunity to learn an instrument, be a part of an orchestra,
and perform with students from other schools.
We are known for our outstanding small group instrumental instruction.
Students in grades 3-10 are invited to participate.
We offer 27 two-hour lessons throughout the school year.
Our Artistic Director and instructors evaluate the students based on instrument and ability level.
There are three levels of instruction: Beginning, Intermediate, and Advanced (by audition only).
All groups will perform in a winter and spring concert.
We reserve the right to merge classes if necessary.
Dear Parents and Students,
These are VERY difficult times for everyone, not impossible just challenging.
Orchestra in the Schools wants to make a difference in your child’s life, keeping their interest in music alive and our teachers employed. We would like to offer our OITS family ways to keep playing and learning music since all classes, performances and Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk are cancelled through the end of our season.
-
TIME WITH YOUR TEACHERS. Our teachers will be available by phone to teach your child, one on one, in the areas of the student’s learning in music. Sharon will be sending out a time schedule for each class of our program.
-
SMARTMUSIC is a wonderful online music learning platform that can enable your child to keep playing at home and grow musically. More information will be emailed to you.
We will get through COVID 19 and perhaps learn some important life lessons along the way. Lastly, here is a FUN project for you and your child...
• IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, please call Sharon (831) 402-2946.
I would like to make a MUSIC VIDEO SLIDESHOW of Orchestra in the School taking shelter at home. Take a photo of you, your instrument and your pet in one shot. Email me your photo to James@OrchestraInTheSchools.org and I will make a movie and share it with everyone.
Keep happy and healthy!!!
Musically,
Mr. Paoletti
CEO/Artistic Director, Orchestra in the Schools, Inc.
