Students in this ensemble have successfully completed the Prelude level classes at any PMP site or have taken an audition with the Director of Education. Harmony Strings students receive one sectional class and one orchestra rehearsal each week. Students are also offered a private lesson that takes place at PS16 or on Zoom.

Prelude classes are group beginner instrumental classes. Students choose an instrument and meet three times a week to participate in instrumental classes as well as choir, musicianship, and/or drumming classes.

Pre-Orchestra classes are group musicianship classes that teach young students the fundamentals of music. Students will learn the basics of note and rhythm reading through singing, drumming, recorder and keyboard. Once students complete this program, they will be eligible for the Prelude instrumental classes.
