Announcing the American Youth Prelude Violins!
Molly Schranck
AYPO is proud to announce the development of our newest ensemble for young violinists! The American Youth Prelude Violins* will meet for the first time on September 18th.
This newest ensemble will aim to provide a continued focus on reading and ensemble skills and will also provide showcase performances for young, elementary school-age violinists. The creation of this ensemble will allow for smaller performance ensemble sizes and a shorter rehearsal time. These factors will help to create a more intimate learning experience for all, as younger musicians benefit from a shorter rehearsal and specialized teaching. This ensemble aims to provide support for violinists specifically in grade 4 or younger.
The American Youth Prelude Violins will also be taught by Kristin Gomez, the director of the American Youth Prelude Strings program, and the ensemble will rehearse from 5:00-5:50PM on Mondays. Come see AYPV in action at their first Showcase in January 2024.
