FARMINGTON – The Foothills Arts Center’s new Violin Adventures program already has 18 children enrolled. In response to the popularity of the program, Foothills is adding an extra day of the group lesson program.

The summer session of Violin Adventures will start in early July. It is for beginning violin students age 4 to 6. There are scholarships available for families who cannot afford the program fees.

The Violin Adventures founder and teacher, Jeanne Feder of Farmington, will teach children note recognition as they develop right- and left-hand violin technique in an interactive group setting. Each class will last 45 minutes and will have four to five beginning violinists.

The lessons will be held at the Foothills Arts Center office and studio on Pleasant Street in downtown Farmington. Contact Anne Geller at 778-0448 or [email protected] for more information, including fees and scholarships.

The Foothills Arts Center is a community arts organization that brings together children and adults, artists and audiences, to share the arts in an atmosphere that encourages learning, exploration and collaboration. Information on other Foothills programs can be found at foothillsarts.org.
