Strings Class
Strings Class is offered to 5th grade students at all elementary schools and now 6th and 7th grade at both middle schools in ASD2! Mrs. Hegwood is so excited that the program is growing and is ready to see what the 2019-2020 year has in store. Below is a video of the 2017-2018 first class of 5th grade strings at their spring concert!

Instrument OptionsThe following music vendors are approved by Mrs. Hegwood to obtain your instrument:
Bernhardt House of Violins 864-282-8887 Music & Arts 864-225-4667 PLEASE refrain from buying instruments online. It is very difficult to determine the quality of an instrument without seeing it in person. It is best to go to a music store in person and talk to a professional about the best quality of instrument to obtain for your child. I suggest to rent an instrument as you can upgrade their size every year and ensure you are getting the best instrument possible for your child. |
