The Webb Experience
String Orchestra
As both academic classes and performance groups, Webb’s string orchestra classes provide an excellent opportunity for both new and experienced musicians to develop their skills. All classes offer instruction on the violin, viola, cello and double bass.
Strings I
Strings I gives those students who have never played a stringed instrument the opportunity to quickly learn how to play while learning to read music. No previous musical experience is needed to enroll.
Intermediate Strings
Intermediate Strings is a class for students with 1-2 years’ experience. These musicians study more advanced music while developing their shifting, vibrato, reading and performance skills.
Orchestra Honors
Webb’s most advanced orchestra class, Orchestra Honors, teaches students more complex string literature and advanced techniques. This class is for high school students only.
Piano
Our piano program provides the opportunity for beginners to advanced players to learn in a class setting. Piano I provides students with little to no previous experience instruction in a group setting with individual attention. Intermediate Piano builds on the foundation of Piano I furthering the students reading and technical abilities, while Advanced Piano continues the development of technique and artistic expression. Both Intermediate Piano and Advanced Piano are offered in a class setting with individualized instruction. Classes meet 3 times a week during the academic day.
Choir
In Choir, students learn to read and sing music from a variety of periods and languages as they work to prepare and perform as an ensemble. The annual Service of Lessons and Carols and the Spring Concert are the two main performances of the choir along with other opportunities. The students learn proper breathing and tone production, how to read music notation, how to be musically expressive, and how to demonstrate these abilities in performance.
