Prepare for the upcoming musical season with New Jersey Intergenerational Orchestra’s Summer String Studio in August. Summer String Studio is designed to reinforce and extend the musical abilities of string players by strengthening their core music knowledge. Musicians will improve and gain confidence in their abilities in just four short weeks. In this program, string players are grouped by instrument and work directly with professional faculty to help improve intonation, rhythmic integrity, bowing, sight reading, and score understanding.
All ages and all abilities are welcome. Whether you want to utilize those waning nights of summer to prepare for the fall concert season in your community, youth, school or intergenerational orchestra, or simply want to improve your playing, and you are a string player, this program is for you. Walk into your first fall rehearsal confident and prepared. Summer String Studio is led by Program Director, Martin Steinberg, who has been NJIO’s principal cellist and chamber music coach since 2005, and NJIO’s Artistic Director, Warren Cohen.
