The Tetra Experience
In Summer 2017, we are offering TWO workshops! June 15-24th in Tempe and July 13-22rd in Scottsdale.
Applications will be accepted starting April 1st, 2017
Space is limited and spots fill up fast. Students are advised to submit their applications as close to April 1st as possible.
*****As of April 19th, both workshops are close to capacity and we only have a few spots left for specific ages/levels/instruments. Please email us at tetrastringquartet@gmail.com before submitting an online application.*****
The mission of our workshop is to enrich the musical development of string players through studying the art of chamber music. Each student is placed in an ensemble and will participate in daily rehearsals and coachings with members of the Tetra String Quartet and Taylor Morris. Additionally, students will explore fiddling and improvisation to learn how to think and play 'outside the box.' This workshop provides a sense of community for musicians, teaching students how to function as a group, communicate effectively, and prepare a musical work for performance.
