Summer String Classes Now Taking Enrollment - Arts Council of Dickinson County

Summer String Classes Now Taking Enrollment - Arts Council of Dickinson County


The Arts Council of Dickinson County is now taking enrollment for “Summer Strings” violin classes.  These classes are open to students ages 4 and up.

Classes are to be held Tuesday and Thursday mornings, from 10:15 – 11:00 a.m. in the Conference Room at the Arts Council of Dickinson County, 203 NW 2nd Street, Abilene.  Classes begin on June 14 and are held through July 14.  Classes are $110 per student.  Fees include a book and supplies, and usage of the violin, which is the property of the Arts Council.  The students will be able to bring the violin home with them during the Summer Strings session.  Space is limited on a first come basis.  This is a great way for your child to dabble in learning a new instrument, with the opportunity to continue to learn with a private instructor after the Summer Strings session.  Enrollment forms and information is available by calling the Arts Council at 263-1884.  Hours are from 8:00 – 12:00 Monday through Friday.

Instructor Carolyn Graves is a Suzuki Method violin instructor.  She has taught violin to hundreds of school children, most notably in the St. Louis, Missouri school district.  The Suzuki Method is based on the principle that all children possess ability and that this ability can be developed and enhanced through a nurturing environment. All children learn to speak their own language with relative ease and if the same natural learning process is applied in teaching other skills, these can be acquired as successfully. 

A recital will follow the final class on Friday, July 15th in conjunction with the Chaffee Bradshaw Art Reception at the Eisenhower Presidential Library. 

“Summer String” classes are presented by the support of Arts Council of Dickinson County and its members.
