CHAMBER MUSIC
All ages
Playing instruments with others is one of the best ways to experience music. GNMC forms chamber groups based on experience, age, and requests (friends who wish to play together). Groups that work successfully together for the semester will have an opportunity to perform at in-house recitals, outreach concerts, and can audition to perform at Carnegie Hall.

Groups are scheduled at various times during weekday evenings and on Sundays.

INTRODUCTION TO HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE
Ages 10 through Adult

Ever wondered what instruments came before the piano, violin or guitar? This class is for you. Explore the instruments of the past through instrument show and tell, and musical examples. Learn about music history the fun way!
Please call for day and times.

Age 3 and up: Now even your littlest ones can learn to play an instrument! While it is most common for children to begin an instrument around age 5 or 6, some children actually start as early as 3 or 4 especially on violin, piano, cello, and guitar. Many of our teachers borrow approaches from the Suzuki method for their youngest students. Several of our teachers are Suzuki certified.

Age 3 to 7: Introduce your children to the joys of classical music with our Meet The Orchestra! class. Students will be introduced to different instruments and composers through stories, movement and live demonstrations.
