Bow Time at School
A nonprofit providing quality after-school instruction on violin, viola, or cello to students attending cooperating Elementary Schools in Wake County, North Carolina.
Welcome to Bow Time at School
Bow Time At School is a weekly after-school orchestra program available to students attending cooperating Elementary Schools in Wake County. This program is geared toward 1st - 5th grade students, but kindergarten students will be considered if they are sufficiently mature. Its purpose is to introduce children to orchestral string instruments and to give them an opportunity to play together in an ensemble setting. It was founded by Ted Wagner, a retired Electrical Engineer and classically trained violinist living in Cary, North Carolina.
Ted was introduced to the violin through his Elementary School orchestra in a suburb of Philadelphia, Pa. In the 7th grade, he started taking private lessons and, by his senior year in High School, he was the concertmaster of the school orchestra and a member of the Philadelphia Youth Orchestra. During his college years, he played with several community orchestras and professionally with the Allentown Symphony. Currently, he is a member of the RTOOT Orchestra, a volunteer for the Philharmonic Association, and a member of the Sanctuary Orchestra at his church (FUMC - Cary).
To gain a quick understanding about how this program works, visit About Us. To become familiar with "Bow Time" instruments, visit Instruments. .And, be sure to visit Links if your child doesn't already own or rent an instrument and you are looking for suggestions. Then, if interested, please fill out and submit the Registration form so that we can determine if there is enough interest to offer the program at your school. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Our Purpose
Due to the steady decline of public school budgets over the past several years, very few Wake County elementary schools currently offer orchestra class. Bow Time provides an alternative, not a replacement, for such classes by offering a once a week 90 minute after-school program at the student's cooperating school. The two key goals of Bow Time are to:
