Sally’s Teaching Philosophy

Working with the adults in the New Horizons Orchestra is a joy. We play music in a variety of styles, leaning more toward the classical string orchestra repertoire. We focus on ensemble skills and musicianship, while individuals work to improve their own instrumental technique. I believe in positive reinforcement, as the ensemble comes together to have fun making music!
