Individualized approach to every student is important to us. Length of each lesson and pace of learning are determined by many factors, such as student's personal inclinations, level of advancement, age, etc. We make educational process enjoyable and successful by combining hard work and persistence, while making sure each student's needs are met and abilities are expanded to the fullest potential.

The class operates in a professional, friendly, and fun environment with individualized approach to each student and input from both the conductor and players. Focus is on the essentials of ensemble playing, such as rhythm, pitch, sight-reading, group dynamics, blending with others, and polished performances. The musical arrangements for intermediate string orchestra expose the players to a variety of styles. Baroque, romantic, classical, pop and even twentieth century arrangements are read, rehearsed and performed with public performance opportunities available every semester.

Students learn acting & performance skills in a fun group setting.

We believe that private instruction is the best way for anyone to learn how to play an instrument. One-on-one instruction means that students are given instruction tailored to their style of learning and the type of music they want to learn. A private teacher focuses 100% of their attention on that individual to ensure successful hand positioning, posture and other aspects of musical training.
