String students will come together for a week of orchestral music, aided by directors, artists, interns, and volunteers. They will learn new music, develop their skills, perform at the end of the week, and continue their string study. Data will be collected through enrollment and student, parent, staff, and audience surveys. The first rehearsal will be compared to the last rehearsal via observation of quantity and quality and short surveys for student perspective.
