The original summer program offered by Music for the Sake of Music, the Community Program Instrumental Track is open to all members of the Green Bay community and surrounding areas.  Students in the Instrumental and Traditional Beginner Tracks will study a musical instrument in a private lesson every day with one of our Teaching Artists. For our experienced students, the progress made during this time is unparalleled; for our beginners, the instrument ceases to be a challenge to overcome as it becomes a tool with which to make music.

These tracks are open to students entering 5th grade through Adult.

Instruments:

• Violin
• Viola
• Cello​

• Flute
• Oboe
• Clarinet
• Bassoon​

• Saxophone
• French Horn
• Trumpet
• Trombone

• Tuba/Euphonium
• Percussion
• Piano​​​​

The following instruments are fully-registered for the Instrumental Track. Those registering will be added to a wait-list. Every effort will be made to accommodate as many students as possible.

• Percussion
• ​Clarinet​​
• ​Flute
• ​Trumpet
• Violin
• ​Trombone
• French Horn
• Saxophone
• ​Piano
  

Students entering 8th grade and older registered in lessons may also register for chamber music. Chamber music groups are small ensembles of 2 or more players. These groups will meet daily in addition to lessons and will perform during the August 7th concert.

Examples of chamber groups include, but are not limited to:

• String Quartet (2 violins, 1 viola, 1 cello)
• Brass Quintet (2 trumpets, 1 french horn, 1 trombone, 1 tuba)
• Wind Quintet (flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, french horn)
• Saxophone Quartet
• Percussion Ensemble

​Chamber music students must be available on Friday, July 19 for a short lesson to facilitate ensemble group formations.
