Lessons - Private and Group

We offer private violin, viola and cello lessons. We also offer group lessons in violin, viola, and cello, as well as several intermediate and advanced reading ensembles. Most of these lessons take place on the campus of Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville. Students not enrolled in our program can join our reading ensembles.

 

Advanced Ensembles

Our SIUE Tour Group (directed by Allison Woerner) and SIUE Cello Ensemble (directed by Glenda Piek) are available to students in our program, who play at an advanced level, by audition. Auditions take place in the fall of every year.  Our Violin Tour Group is slated to go on tour to Europe this Spring! Click here to order our CD!
