This 45-minute class explores the many skills of ensemble playing such as following tempi, blending sound, creating musical dialogues, playing in harmony, and developing ensemble leadership. Selections from the first two Suzuki violin books serve as the backbone of the repertoire, augmented with other interesting and fun music created specifically for violin and string ensembles. Students are asked to add some additional practice time to their normal routine to help them be prepared each week. The class work culminates in a group performance during the biannual recital.

This semester, group violin will be separated into two levels: Level 1 for students in Suzuki book 1 (or other method book at comparable level) and level 2 for students who have completed book 1. The level 1 class will also incorporate more games and activities to help reinforce rhythm and note identification for those students who are just starting to read.
