The String Academy is open to students between the ages of 5 -18 who wish to study the violin, viola and cello through a curriculum that includes private and group lessons, theory and master classes, chamber music, and performance opportunities. All students attain skills of concentration, develop a sense of high self-esteem, and keep with them a joy and love for music that remains forever.

We are now accepting violin, viola and cello students for the Fall Semester 2022. The session begins on August 22nd. Students that are already playing will be required to audition on Saturday, August 20th. Please contact Christina at crunnacl@iu.edu to set-up a time.

The first years of instruction are the most important, for they set the stage for the development of concentration, self-esteem, and a lifelong love for music. Please help to spread the word that we are developing our cello class. Thank you!

The Summer String Academy was fortunate to have a very early morning master class with Luke Hsu before he had to race to the airport and catch his flight back to Berlin. He shared his vast knowledge and his love for music with us all. Catelijne Hunt, Elson Koh, Cooper Olsen, Abby Ko, and Justin Bartlett (pianist) were the participants. Thank you, Luke!
