The Mozart Strings Project provides after-school beginning string instruction for elementary students. Started in 1994 to meet growing demand for orchestral training, it is offered by the Colorado Springs Youth Symphony and open to all students, regardless of school district. Music for Everyone!

​

Students attend two one-hour rehearsals each week and perform in at least three concerts each year, including large ensemble performances.

​

The program is designed to help every student succeed through careful, consistent teaching that builds lasting musical skills and a lifelong love of music.​

• We focus on posture and tone production, teaching note reading separately until students have the ability to play simple songs with good tone.

• ​Students come to class for one hour, twice a week from mid-September to mid-May.

• ​Classes are available for Beginners with no experience and for 2nd Year Students.  Grades accepted are 2nd through 7th, depending on site. Student ages range from 7-13. Students with more experience may fit better in one of the CSYSA auditioned orchestras.  Please contact Renée Botton (rbotton@csysa.com) if you aren't sure which program is right for your student. 

• ​Class sizes are from 8 to 20 students depending on room size and assistants available.  

• ​Mozart Strings Program is part of the Colorado Springs Youth Symphony Association! After graduating from our program, students are automatically eligible for the first of 6 CSYSA auditioned orchestras.​
