The Department of Continuing Education in collaboration with the School of Creative Arts presents another season of musical instruction for children and youth.
The University of Windsor Lab School Music Program: Strings, offers a space for young strings musicians aged 4 to 17, to practise, collaborate, and enhance their ensemble playing abilities. Students are encouraged to explore their musicality through games and activities pioneered by instructors and supported by SoCA students.
The winter 2025 session will kick off with a free "drop in" lesson for interested participants from 2 to 4 p.m. on Feb. 22 at the SoCA Armouries. Young musicians who play the violin, viola, cello, or string bass are invited to bring their instruments. There will be a set number of violins available to borrow for the duration of this session. To learn more about this lesson, or to register, click here.
This free group lesson will transition into the full ensemble program, which will run from Feb. 22 to June 14. Learners will participate in bi-weekly classes where they will be divided into two groups based on age and experience.
For more information on the winter program and beginner and intermediate groups, visit the Lab School Music Program website, or registration page. Families should register their young musicians before Feb. 18.
UWindsor alumni, staff, students, and group registrations are eligible for a discount. Families looking to register two or more children will receive a discounted price for each child. Direct inquiries to continue@uwindsor.ca.
