Strings
The UNCG String Area prepares students for a variety of careers by developing motivated, creative and independent musicians. Lessons with faculty, weekly studio classes, technique classes and orchestral excerpt preparation assist you in your path to becoming a better musician and prepare you for the next step. The UNCG string experience is enhanced by participation in one of our two orchestras and various small chamber ensembles. Students may also be selected to perform with our premiere string ensemble of faculty and students, Gate City Camerata, or in the new music ensemble Present~Continuous.
Our faculty come from a variety of backgrounds, with experience in new music, chamber music, orchestral playing and pedagogical study. The UNCG String Area offers BM, MM, and DMA degrees in violin, viola, cello, bass, and harp. Graduates of our program go on to additional degrees at prestigious institutions, or become teachers, professors, orchestral musicians, and chamber musicians.
