Available Opportunities
This session offers the following group section opportunities
Beginner 1
Rehearses on Tuesdays from 4:00pm to 5:15pm
This section is designed for beginners who have no--or very little--prior experience playing a stringed instrument. With a focus on foundational skills, participants will learn basic techniques, how to read music, and the joy of ensemble playing in a supportive and encouraging environment.
Beginner 2
Rehearses on Tuesdays from 4:00pm to 5:15pm
This section is for players who have been studying a stringed instrument for a year or two, and are ready to take the next step in their musical journey. Participants will build on their foundational skills, improving technique and musicality while learning to play together as a cohesive group.
Orchestra One
Rehearses on Tuesdays from 5:30pm – 6:45pm
Orchestra One is the intermediate level of the program, perfect for musicians who have been learning their instrument for several years and are comfortable reading music and playing in multiple positions. The repertoire is thoughtfully selected to challenge early- to mid-intermediate players while ensuring a rewarding and enjoyable experience.
North Coast Strings Orchestra
Rehearses on Tuesdays from 7:00pm – 9:00pm
The North Coast Strings Orchestra is the pinnacle of our program, led by the inspirational and award-winning conductor Alyze Dreiling. Designed for advanced players, this ensemble offers the chance to perform classical and contemporary repertoire in its original, unadapted form. It’s the ideal setting for musicians who want to refine their skills, refresh their techniques, or enjoy making music in a collaborative and non-competitive environment. Whether you’re rekindling your passion for playing, maintaining your "chops," or challenging yourself with advanced repertoire, the North Coast Strings Orchestra offers the camaraderie, artistry, and inspiration you’re looking for.
