VALUES

We are a string instrument specialist program providing students with paid opportunities to perform and teach. Too often students stop playing in their teenage years due to a lack of further opportunities. We intend to see all those hours of practice utilised through motivating students to work towards teaching and performing at a professional level.

Students that can get something wrong 100 times but continue to persist in order to overcome any challenge.


Perfectionism

Students that comprehend what it looks like and sounds likes to perform at a professional level in order to strive to reach the highest standards.


Efficient Practice

Students that understand how to implement focused practice in order to improve specific elements of their playing and progress at the fastest rate possible.
