THE STRING EXPERIENCE ... is a seminar for high school violinists, violists, cellists and bassists that brings you in contact with Fredonia's string faculty. Young musicians will be given the chance to improve performance and practice techniques, interact with other string players, and attend a recital with our distinguished faculty artists. String players will have the opportunity to work in small sessions with conservatory-trained Fredonia faculty, developing performance skills, working on issues of stage fright and the audition process, improving technical skills such as shifting, intonation, tone production, and more. The atmosphere is designed to be a fun, supportive learning environment for students, but teachers and parents are also encouraged to attend - we hope you'll join us for this exciting event.

The Free Improv Session with David Rudge will teach you ways to free your playing and explore new possibilities on your instrument. It is an introduction for string players who have never improvised, and will provide more opportunities for those who have had previous experience. Students will move away from the printed page and explore making music in the moment using string and other "world music" instruments.

Enjoy our campus tour and discover the secrets that only Fredonia undergraduates know! Explore the campus at the height of its colorful fall foliage: tour highlights include a visit to the university gym, the I.M. Pei-designed library, the new student center and Starbucks café.
