This tutorial is designed to heighten awareness of the variety of ways the violin is played regionally and socially in North America (and indeed around the world these days) and to give practical music skills for furthering personal musicmaking. Student will be expected to perform at Music Workshop, or as part of a concert, in ensemble, and/or solo. Students must have their own instrument or make arrangements for borrowing one from the music department. Depending on scheduling, these will be individual or group lessons.
