St. Louis String Collective promotes creative, multi-genre string instrument playing through educational programming and performance opportunities. 

We believe that …

• High quality, diverse music education should be available to people of all ages, abilities and incomes

• Supporting the arts is essential to the health and well-being of our community

• Mastering techniques and styles outside of the traditional classical pedagogy, such as developing improvisational skills and learning by ear develops well-rounded musicianship

• Learning a variety of musical styles and traditions cultivates compassion and curiosity
