[Members] Howell Area String Opportunities

[Dan & Diane Scott]

Dear MASTA Members,

I need a little help!  Last week during the MASTA Summer Camps a local  
Howell resident saw our signs and contacted me looking for information  
on string opportunities around Howell Michigan.  Being from the "west  
side", I'm not sure of all the opportunities.  The e-mail from the  
mother is below, so if anyone could contact me with any opportunities  
this girl may have around Howell I would appreciate it.

Thanks Much
Dan Scott


Hi Dan,
You and I spoke on the phone a few weeks ago about the camp you had  
out at Howell Nature Center. We missed that program due to our recent  
move back to Michigan. We are still in our move process and I am just  
getting back from training out of state. But you may recall my  
daughter was playing violin through the SC school system. She will be  
entering 7th grade in the fall and just has the one year of  
experience. Her school in Howell does not have a strings program.

You were going to recommend some resources for her to continue to  
pursue playing after school. I am hoping to find an organized program  
that she can participate in outside of private lessons as they are  
expensive and I could probably only budget once or twice a week and I  
don't know how much she would learn in that limited amount of  
instruction.

Also if she were to take band in school (rather than the alternative  
of choir) what would be the best transitional instrument to choose  
when coming from the violin?

Thank you so much for your time as she does want to keep playing and I  
want to encourage her.
