InSight focuses on sight-reading and basic ensemble skills (both orchestral and chamber).  It is open to young players who are already reading music well in 1st position in a variety of keys, with some experience in shifting to other positions. InSight students are typically ages 9 through 12, and if Suzuki students, they are working in Book 3 or beyond. 

InSight helps students become proficient reading music on independent parts in an ensemble, gain confidence in their ability to play with others, and instills a love of music-making together. Skills and repertoire classes, theory and music-reading games, and Dalcroze Eurythmics-based movement classes will help improve each child’s personal musical skills.

InSight’s emphasis on service to God, the Giver of music, focuses the efforts of the young students. Sharing music in performance with elderly and the broader community teaches our students to be grateful for the ability to make music and for the privilege of bringing joy to others. InSight also begins each morning with Descant (worship and hymn singing), tuning our hearts to hear God speak through music.

Please note: each InSight student age 8 or under must have a parent or responsible adult available to them during all InSight events.
