Preparing students to excel as a versatile, modern musician.
Graduates of the FSU string program may be found in orchestras, colleges and universities, and school music programs throughout the nation and the world. Many graduates also enjoy successful multi-faceted careers that are entrepreneurial, include arts administration skills, and performing music of various styles.
When you study in the FSU string program, you will be prepared to excel as a versatile, modern musician. Students develop a highly diverse set of tools through weekly private lessons and studio classes with world-class faculty, chamber music rehearsals and coachings, orchestral repertoire classes, pedagogy courses, varied and robust orchestra experiences as well as musician health and wellness seminars.
Inspiration from faculty, peers, and guest artists promotes high performance standards, sound teaching skills, an entrepreneurial mindset and training to help forge a wide variety of successful career paths and exposure to the highest level of musical performances.
Our musical community provides healthy and effective competition in a supportive, collaborative environment as well as personal and regular contact with caring faculty. Our students are motivated and inspired by each other and participate in exceptional collegiality among students and faculty. In addition, our students have access to a supportive and well-connected alumni network.
