String Orchestra is an extra-charge enrichment activity of the school offered
during the regular school day for the 2021-2022 school year.  Immaculate Conception Catholic School offers instruction in violin, viola, and cello
for students in grades 4-8. The String Orchestra plays in a variety of local activities including Grandparents Day, Catholic Schools Week, Veterans Day Program, Christmas Program, Fine Arts Night, and more.

String Orchestra is under the direction of Mr. Robert Garbarz.

Our students have developed a passion for music, with alumni continuing their love for their instrument and music as they continue their educational careers.  

Contact the school office at 940-381-1155 for registration forms or more information.

If you have a used violin, viola or cello for sale, please clean it up, bring it to school with an information sheet inside the case with your name, contact info and any details you can provide.  Payment must be between parents, not through the teacher.  We will try to match a new student with your instrument.

At home, please make every effort to help your string student find a quiet place to play their instrument and safely leave their equipment. Parents, please let me appoint you as a Practice Associate.  For the most part, your assignment is to encourage daily playing at home and to find ways to praise your child's efforts.  The Parent--Student--Teacher triangle makes a strong bond in forming the young musician.
