Homeschool Orchestra
for Spring 2022
Now
Homeschool Orchestra
I am offering mixed instrument (violin, viola, cello) classes for homeschoolers ages 7-11 or 12-14!
Now enrolling for summer 2022.
Please note: For the summer session, all students, homeschool or not, are welcome! I can also make custom classes for a group if interested.
Classes Offered
Level 1
No musical experience is necessary! This class is designed as a fun introduction for students who have never played a stringed instrument before to try violin, viola, or cello and aren't sure if they want to commit to private lessons, yet. Students will learn the basics of playing bowed strings, including facility in playing songs both by ear and with written music as well as the basics of holding their instruments properly for ease of playing. Instruction will be a hybrid of Suzuki concepts blended with traditional classroom learning which I have developed over the years. The class will be taught in a group setting, lasting 45 minutes once per week, with a possibility to continue in the fall.
Level 2
This class is a continuation of what students learned in Level 1, and or a place for more experienced players to join in, focusing on more complex repertoire, exploring the fingerboard more in depth, refining bow technique, and beginning to play music in parts. Instruction will be a hybrid of Suzuki concepts blended with traditional classroom learning which I have developed over the years. The class will be taught in a group setting, lasting 45 minutes once per week, with a possibility to continue in the fall.

About me
My name is Eric Miller and I am a Suzuki cello teacher who has taught all string instruments in Madison, both privately and in the schools, since 2009. I am also a proud homeschooling parent of a Suzuki violin student and particularly in these times I see a need among the area's homeschooled population for high quality, affordable music instruction which also gives children the opportunity to learn in a positive, supportive community with one another.
