STRING EXPLORERS 1
String Explorers is for beginner students with no prior experience. The class is held at the Frisco Discovery Center every Sunday at 2:00pm. Students will learn the fundamentals of their instrument, including proper playing position, notes on the strings, and how to play with the bow. Music theory and note reading are also taught. Our class is set for success, as our Orchestra directors are Certified and actively teaching in school music programs on school days. We also follow State Standards and align our curriculum with Frisco ISD standards. This is what makes YMYO a one-of-a-kind experience.
Every August and February, we begin a new beginner class.
**NEW BEGINNER CLASS STARTING SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 8th!
