St. Barnabas Strings Program
The St. Barnabas Strings Program offers affordable music instruction for students interested in playing the violin or cello. All St. Barnabas students in Kindergarten through 8th grade are welcome to join the string orchestra program.
Instruction is provided by Judy Lei, who has been the director of the popular Beverly Youth String Orchestra for the past 10 years. She also teaches at the Beverly Arts Center and several other area schools.
The goals of the Strings Program are:
- To provide the highest quality music education for all students
- To identify and nurture individual talent
- To foster camaraderie and group cooperation
- To prepare students for high school orchestra
- To provide students with a foundation for a lifelong appreciation of music
To accomplish these goals, one 35 minute group lesson is offered each week during school hours at a time the curriculum permits. Private lessons may also be arranged. A Christmas and a Spring Concert are held each year.
Tuition is $99 per ten week session for the Fall, Winter, and Spring Sessions. Instrument Rental is also available for an additional fee.
