We have had such an amazing response to our Violin Unit 2 class that we’re adding a second section!! This will be taught online only by Karen Kimmett from Aug 10-14, 2024. Teachers taking this unit 2 course can also stay for the violin unit 3 course, taught by Paule Barsalou, if they’d like. The timing of the ending of Unit 2 on Aug 14 and the beginning of Unit 3 on Aug 14 won’t overlap.
