String student’s summer checklist!
- Take your instrument in for maintenance (bridge & soundpost adjustments, new strings, bow rehair/replacement, etc.)
- If applicable, look at turning in your rental instrument and purchasing a “step up” instrument – you will love the sound you can get with a higher quality instrument!
- Find music like solos and duets to practice alone and with friends or learn your favorite songs by ear
- Continue to practice scales and arpeggios to learn the geography of your fingerboard
Upcoming Concert Dates
We have a very exciting season of music coming your way. You won’t want to miss it!
