Keep your instruments tuned up and get a head start on your return to orchestra in the fall! This summer orchestra experience is an opportunity to play music with your classmates and other orchestra students in the district. Through fun, full-string-orchestra pieces, we will refresh the skills you learned in 4th grade and get your fingers, instruments and bows ready for the new techniques and skills to come in 5th grade. The Beginning Summer Chamber Orchestra is specifically targeted toward Minnetonka orchestra students who have completed 4th grade orchestra and are registered for 5th grade orchestra this fall. However, any beginning string student who has been playing their instrument for one year is welcome to join. Please come prepared on the first day with: your instrument, bow, and necessary accessories. Please also set aside time to practice at home during that week. Students must attend all four sessions of this performance-based program. The final performance will be on the last day at 3 p.m.

Love to sing? Join our fun workshop! Learn songs from musicals and jazz while improving your voice. Make new friends, play musical games, sing your heart out and have a blast! We will also explore the skill of vocal improvisation (scat singing), beatboxing and singing two notes at the same time using harmonic overtones. At the end of the week, we will put on a public concert showcasing our work. Participants from past years are encouraged to join us again as the music is never the same from year to year. All ability levels are welcome!
