Mission
St. Louis String Collective promotes creative, multi-genre string instrument playing through educational programming and performance opportunities.
We believe that …
High quality, diverse music education should be available to people of all ages, abilities and incomes
Supporting the arts is essential to the health and well-being of our community
Teachers and performers should be paid fairly to promote quality education and a thriving arts community
Mastering techniques and styles outside of the traditional classical pedagogy, such as developing improvisational skills and learning by ear develops well-rounded musicianship
Learning a variety of musical styles and traditions cultivates compassion and curiosity
