The Young People's String Program is a creative blend of Suzuki philosophy, Paul Rolland's approach to movement in string playing, and traditional string pedagogy. Dr. Shinichi Suzuki's philosophy embraces the idea that all children are born with musical ability that can be nurtured at an early age through their environment, listening, imitation, and by working closely with a parent at home. Paul Rolland's work focuses on relaxation and freedom of movement in string playing. Traditional string pedagogy enhances these approaches by incorporating the development of technique and musicianship through scales, etudes, sight reading, and a variety of repertoire. Our faculty bring their own experiences to the program as they work together in creating a solid foundation and inspiring environment for our young string players.
