String Instrument Studies will focus on techniques necessary for performance of orchestral literature. These include instrument-specific techniques such as bowing styles, finger patterns, shifting and upper positions, and musical concepts such as pitch, rhythm, harmony, phrasing and interpretation, history, and theory, which are vital to performance in any musical situation.  String Instrument Studies is an introduction to the skills necessary for performance in Camerata Orchestra. Performances will occur as much or as little as is necessary for the development of the students in the course.
