Dear Third Grade Strings Parents,
If your child has signed up for violin, but was just as excited to pick viola or cello, please reconsider! We have 57 violins in third grade and only a handful signed up for viola and cello. Signing over to viola or cello will give your child a smaller instruction group and may give more opportunities in the future. For example, this year for GT Orchestra and Sinfonia, 109 violins auditioned, but only 16 violas and 39 cellos (63 violns accepted, 14 violas, and 26 cellos). So as you can see, there is more demand for violas and cellos in general. So, if your child was unsure, please have them think it over, it isn't too late and if your child wishes to visit with me to discuss a change, please feel free to contact me to set up a time.
Thank you,
Dr. Nebesh NES Strings Director
