Music class opportunity: Studio Orchestra

Mr. Toby Harwell is hosting a UC/CSU VPA Area “F” Instrumental Music seminar to our students. He is holding Studio Orchestra class meetings on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, from 2:50-4pm during this school year. This is a year-long commitment, and open to any students with at least 1 year of prior experience with wind or string (violin, viola, cello, bass) instruments. He is aware of the asynchronous nature of our programming and will make every effort to accommodate all interested students…even if they can only participate in one of our two weekly meetings. For more info and to enroll, please contact Mr. Harwell at tharwell@davincischools.org
