I am very pleased to announce that Kate Hackmann has been chosen from among many entrants to represent our District 3 at the state level at the Junior Competition for the Missouri Federation of Music Clubs. This past Saturday, Kate participated in the District 3 Festival and received Superior ratings in both violin solo performance and music theory. It was based on this performance that Kate was chosen as winner to represent the District. Congratulations - this is quite an honor!

Join us!

What a great idea!! Just make sure to copy your music first!

For all the musically minded high school seniors...

I am completely floored! I started a new adult student tonight and she made this for me before even having met me. She combined my business name (Mrs. Mcpea) and my Symphony (of the Magic Dragon) to make this little charm. Isn't it adorable?

A very happy student with a new instrument from Field Violins !

Every day is violin day at my house!!

For all my music teacher colleagues....

Free Violin Lessons – With No Strings Attached!

Missy McPheeters, director of the Symphony of the Magic Dragon and the Mid-Missouri Youth Orchestra, and owner of her own personal business giving stringed instrument lessons, has announced a new and unique program to offer beginning lessons to six select students – absolutely free.

The program is offered to area students from grades 5 through 8. In order to participate, students should download an application which includes space for a short written essay on why the student would like to take lessons. Once filled out, the application should be submitted along with a letter of reference from one of their teachers and sent to: Missy McPheeters, 294 Ginny Drive, Linn Creek MO 65052 by mail or by email to [email protected].

Six students will be selected from all applications received and those students will be given lessons beginning on March 18th and will run every Saturday until April 29th for two hours. The students will be supplied with an instrument, all necessary accessories including a music book and the lessons themselves at no cost.
“After directing the Lake Area Strings [the former name of the Symphony] for several years, I realized that the only way to grow the program was to create a feeder program where students could learn to play orchestra instruments in a group setting. At that point, I began the Mid-Missouri Youth Orchestra.”

The youth orchestra had its ups and downs, growing to as large as twelve members at one point, but the pandemic took its toll. Without practice space or concert venues, the program has been dormant for the past several years. But that is all about to turn around and the group will become active again this spring. “Now that that the youth orchestra will be back in session, I would like to establish a way to advertise and entice more students into the program.”

A lifelong lover of music, McPheeters has a music education degree from Kent State University, and has been playing the violin since she was ten years old. Teaching kids interested in learning orchestral strings is one of the things she is most passionate about.

Interested candidates can download an application at https://mrsmcpea.wordpress.com/group-lesson-application-2/ . For more information, call Missy McPheeters at 573-286-3467 or email her at [email protected].

Videos for Violinists: Throwing - Violin Video Lesson by William Fitzpatrick Learning to throw objects can help with your violin - Post your questions and get your answers.

I believe that "hearing" good intonation can improve with practice, but you have to know what to listen for. Learning to listen for notes that match open strings and how certain notes vibrate the instrument can really help!
