String Ensemble
< Back to all programs
Our string ensemble, led since 2019 by violinists Gosia McCarroll and Marianna Pijewska, gives students the opportunity to work on classical repertoire with our skilled instructors in a fun, educational and engaging environment. Students will be asked to meet with the instructor over Zoom to play a brief song, or send in a video. Depending on demand, the string ensemble is broken into trios and quartets based on age and skill level.
Why join a classical string ensemble?
Playing in an ensemble equips students with important skills such as collaboration, focus, respect, discipline and confidence. Being a part of a musical community such as this develops greater music sensitivity, creative thinking, builds social skills and character. Collaborating with others ignites passion for music and performance.
