Come Join our community to learn together online!

We provide a unique opportunity to learn ensemble skills online! Our 6-week program is open to violin students of any age and ability level. The 2021 Fall Musissho Project will focus on learning ensemble skills relating to putting together a "mashup" video performance of the famous Can Can from Orpheus in the Underworld by Jacques Offenbach. 

During the Science Storytime, students will learn about the periodic table and learn the Periodic Table Song! And guess what...? The song is set to Offenbach's Can Can! Participants can learn the song and broaden their knowledge of elements in the periodic table AND be able to play the song on the violin! We also have a guest artist, Dr. Lynn Kuo, Assistant Concertmaster of National Ballet, giving a workshop to help participants improve ensemble skills.
