Our program offers weekly private lessons with Concordia College string students, selected and mentored by the Concordia string faculty, at a reasonable cost to the preparatory program student. The teachers selected to teach through this program have gone through an interview process and will be mentored closely by the faculty.

We aim to provide young string students the opportunity to gain insight into current postsecondary education, whether they wish to study music or pursue other academic interests. Interested adults may also participate.

Register

We will be offering lessons throughout the 2022-23 school year. For the health and safety of our prep program students and teachers, safety protocols will be in place in accordance with Concordia College, MDH and the CDC.
