Our mission:
To promote creative multi-genre string instrument playing through education and performance opportunities
We do this by:
Offering classes, workshops, and concerts covering a wide range of musical styles and traditions, such as jazz, blues, rock, American and global folk traditions, anything considered “alternative” and especially those that incorporate improvisation
We believe:
- High quality, diverse music education should be available to people of all ages, abilities and incomes
- Supporting the arts is essential to the health and well-being of our community
- Teachers and performers should be paid fairly to promote quality education and a thriving arts community
- Mastering techniques and styles outside of the traditional classical pedagogy, such as developing improvisational skills and learning by ear develops well-rounded musicianship
- Learning a variety of musical styles and traditions cultivates compassion and curiosity
