Description: |
The Toronto School for Strings was founded in 1999, by Julian and Mary Fisher, to provide their students with a positive and stimulating learning experience. Our faculty of highly qualified and experienced teachers incorporate the best of the world-renowned Suzuki Philosophy, the rigor of the nationally recognized Royal Conservatory of Music Examination system and other approaches tailored to the needs of individual students. We emphasize the quality of the learning environment and foster artistic growth amongst all our students, who range in age from young children to senior citizens.
Instruments taught include violin, viola, cello, bass, piano, guitar, electric bass, flute and recorder. We encourage our students to take advantage of enriching opportunities such as rehearsing with a professional accompanist, or playing with small ensembles or orchestra. We offer a fun and creative approach to theory in private lessons or small groups. We also encourage the implementation of music technology. The core of our instruction is classical by nature, but we also include jazz and improvisation.
SUMMER MUSIC DAY CAMP
Turn those lazy, hazy days of summer into creative inspiration, and give your child a head start for the coming year.
The camp features a multi-disciplinary program covering music, visual art and movement. Children learn, play and perform in groups of all sizes. For the younger musician (4-5), a half-day program is available. 6 year olds may do either half or full day. Older children (ages 7-13) stay for chamber ensembles and choir in the afternoon. Programs will take place in a spacious facility with teachers who truly love teaching.
All campers will receive organized group music instruction as well as art class. The older age group will also receive preparatory theory, to give them a head start on music literacy.
Program includes:
Orchestra
Chamber Music
