The Music Institute is proud of its first-rate strings program.  You can take private lessons in violin, viola, cello, and bass, and you can join a small chamber ensemble.  We also have a Cello Ensemble and String Orchestra open to students of all ages who perform a successful audition.

The Institute's string faculty is one of the best you will find in any preparatory program.  Nearly all of our teachers are also HCC college instructors, and also teach at other colleges, music conservatories, and music departments in the Del-Mar-Va area.  Our string faculty, which features the award-winning Gemini Piano Trio, has appeared in concert in venues including Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, and Alice Tully Hall.  They teach from experience gained in the real world of performing on the concert circuit.
