It's getting to be that time of year!

Littleton Community Music Association offers an after-school violin program at many Littleton public schools. The classes takes place once a week and are for one hour at the school, which means that you don't have to worry about other
transportation issues to attend this class.

What's special about this class is actually it that is an ensemble class, which means you get to learn a new instrument with your
peers, which is a lot more fun. You learn the fundamentals of the violin. You learn and build a foundation in music, because we teach you how to read music, which is exciting. And with an ensemble, you get to not only learn how to play, you get to hear and listen to other people playing the violin and learn how to blend the tone.

Contact your school to see if our LCMA violin program is offered there, or visit us online to learn more.
