Technique
Learning to play a string instrument requires a lot of time, energy and commitment. Developing good technique from the very first lesson allows students a more seamless progression and faster rewarding experience at each lesson. Our nurturing teachers emphasize a strong, holistic foundation in student’s instrument of choice. Each lesson includes instruction in healthy posture, beautiful tone production, left hand technique, bow fundamentals and ear training.
Music Theory
Learning music theory is an integral part of becoming a well-rounded musician. This is why we offer theory as its own discipline as well as allocate time during each instrumental lesson for students to master the world of notation. Our curriculum covers the staff, clefs, note names, rhythms, rests, intervals, meter and time signatures, key signatures and dynamics. Students are also taught scales and chords (harmony), melodies, phrases, forms and vocabulary.
Music History
To celebrate the contributions of musicians and artists of color, we take pride in exposing students to the works of BIPOC composers and instrumentalist who have paved the way for today’s musicians of color.
Mindfulness
Music is transformative and healing. Our students are taught how to become consciously aware of themselves, their instrument and the music. Mental health check-ins and healthy snack breaks are included in each one-hour class session to ensure positive progress and personal growth.
Millie M. Crawford Scholarship Award

Community Scholarships are a customizable way to demonstrate community-wide support for every child’s future, encourage families to continue planning and saving for higher education and strengthen local ecosystems of success.
