The Readiness Strings program is designed to introduce students ages 6-9 to the joy of playing a string instrument. Students choose either violin or cello as their primary instrument of focus. The Readiness Strings program provides the following for students:

weekly small group technique classes on their primary instrument (violin or cello)
weekly ensemble time including both violinists and cellists (Readiness 2 Students)
weekly semi-private lesson with a Studio String mentor (Readiness 1 Students)
a weekly musicianship class to work on ear training, note reading, rhythms, and other musical skills
an instrument to check out for the school year
performance opportunities throughout the community
access to local concerts and other cultural events

Studio Prep

The Studio Prep program is for beginners ages 10-18. Students in this program will still receive weekly technique, ensemble, and musicianship classes as listed above, but will be learning their chosen instrument with peers of a closer age. The program’s smaller class size will allow students to connect with one another and progress at a more accelerated pace.
