Keller ISD String Academy
2018-19
Registration now open for Beginning Orchestra
Online Registration is now open for the Keller ISD String Academy!
Beginning Orchestra (we call it Chamber Orchestra) is for any Keller ISD student who is in 4th grade or higher. It is truly a beginner class...no experience necessary!
Instruction is available on Violin, Viola, Cello, and Bass, and is taught in small group classes. Classes meet at the Keller ISD Education Center (350 Keller Pkwy) on Tuesdays or Thursdays, at 5:00 or 6:30 pm. Students receive instruction once per week.
The cost of the program is $50 for the year, and can be paid online via the KISD Webstore, or on the first day of classes (cash or check only onsite!)
Instruments may be purchased from any music store (Bells Music and Young Musicians are great places to start). Some instruments may be checked out through the district for $100 per year (payable on the first day of classes - cash or check only!)
Registration is open until Sunday, September 16.
Register Here!
Deadline to register is Sunday, September 16.
Young String Players: Choosing the Right Instrument for Your Student
String instruments come in all kinds of shapes and sizes! We want to make sure you have the instrument that fits you the best!
Please do not purchase an instrument (especially online) without seeking the advice of a professional musician! Most music stores can provide this advice for you, or you may contact our director of the String Academy, Adam Pratt, to help you choose the right instrument!
Registration Fees and Expenses
Participation Fee: A $50.00 fee covers participation in the program for the entire year. You may pay online at the following link, or by check/cash only at the first class.
Materials: Students are also responsible for providing a music book, folding music stand, and all accessories (shoulder rest, rosin, etc.)
Instrument: We prefer that students provide their own instrument, however, in certain circumstances, the district can provide one for a $100 yearly usage fee. If you plan to use a district provided instrument, please make this payment at your first class (cash or check).
