Introduction: Sol Solis' consort music education organization provides a musical learning experience for young and adult aspiring musicians in the community. We provide private studio and home-based piano lessons and studio lessons on musical instruments at Martocchio Music Studios in Simsbury, CT. Sol Solis' chamber orchestra provides instrumental players with a learning experience to transition from individual lessons and practice to ensemble playing with Sol Solis consort players. Sol Solis promotes a non-competitive and cooperative philosophy, welcoming the skills and talents of all of our members with equal warmth. We believe that through music, our members develop their abilities to cooperate, focus, communicate and work towards a common goal. We also work hard to develop musical skills, including technique, rhythm, intonation, dynamic control, interpretation, and expression. For many of our young and adult aspiring musicians, playing with others introduces an exciting and tremendously motivating dimension to the world of music. There are performances several times a year, combining pieces for small chamber groups with pieces for the whole orchestra.
