The Flatts & Sharpe String Ensemble is a chance for young string players to gain valuable insight on how to play in an orchestra! Many young violinists and violists don’t get a chance to play with other string players until much later in their education. At Flatts & Sharpe, we aim to get them in early! Our string students will learn how to play together, ear training and musicality within our string program. This class is taken in addition to private lessons.

Flatts and Share started their first all ages rock bands in 2007. Students are grouped together based on age, interest and talent. This is generally a student’s first introduction to playing music with their peers. The student will learn their part over 6 weeks with their private instructor and then come into the band room prepared to learn how to listen and respond to their colleagues. The band practices result into a live performance with at least 5 other bands and a crowd of a few hundred people.
Band practices are 60 minutes once a week and are scheduled on Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Day and times will depend on what works best for each band.

This class is designed to give adult students an opportunity to link up with other adult students and learn the art of “jamming”. Since part of the intent behind this class is for adult musicians to connect and socialize with one another, all skill levels (and instruments) are welcome. This class is a safe space for all individuals to explore new sounds and develop their skills. Things students will get out of this course include, but are not limited to the following: Developing a sense of rhythm and feel, learning what to listen for (aural skills), learning about keys, scales, how chords are constructed and how this is useful for jamming, learning different musical forms and styles (such as funk, rock and 12 bar blues), how to play as a group, how to take material from a jam and turn it into a composition, and the confidence to simply jam out!
