The key to learning anything is to build a solid foundation! We believe that the most effective way of learning is a comprehensive approach consisting of five separate areas:
REPERTOIRE
TECHNIQUE
EAR TRAINING
SIGHT READING
THEORY
High School Credit
Students can receive high school credit upon completing their string and theory exams for Levels 6, 7, and 8. Certificates are given to students who pass both their practical and theory exams and can present their certificate as their Fine Arts Credit.
