Students can choose from the following enrichment classes:

Improvisation for ALL: No instrumental experience needed. Siblings are welcome to join! Beginning with students as young as 4 years old.

All instruments and levels are invited to learn the art of fiddle and improvisation. Students will be grouped into classes according to their level of playing and all will do lots of scatting exercises, percussion for jazz games, and instruments at varying levels for the beginning improvisation.

Origami: Charlie Graham will present several projects in the ancient Japanese art of paper folding. Please indicate your prior experience level on the registration form. Origami is for beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels. Students who have participated in advanced origami can also do advanced paper cutting and arts and crafts.

Singing: Our singing class introduces rhythm, pitch, and harmony by singing together. The class will include movement and fun songs taught in a playful, meaningful, and joyful context. Classes will be organized by age. Minimum age: 4 years old.

Dalcroze: One of our most popular enrichment classes for students of all ages!

Dalcroze Education is a playful, experiential approach to teaching and learning music. It is a process for awakening, developing, and refining innate musicality through rhythmic movement (often called eurhythmics), ear-training, and improvisation. Students will skip, dance, jump, leap, toss balls and scarves, all while solidifying their music theory and rhythmic training.

Orchestra: At OSI, orchestra is a core class for all! Students will love learning music with Gwen Gilbertson and Marian Gutierrez.

Students in orchestra need to be in Book 2+ and play the bass, cello, viola, or violin.

All orchestras begin rehearsals on Sunday afternoon and perform Friday.
