String Instruments

Discover an area of expression and sensitivity.

Technique, sound and interpretation

Between bowing and plucking.

Across bowed and plucked strings, students develop technical, interpretative and artistic skills through a structured pathway, with close pedagogical guidance, individual practice and regular ensemble experience.
