String Orchestra Program in Chinatown

Now located in our new site on 33 Harrison Ave, our premier String Orchestra Program has been serving this community since 2011. The morning program serves students in grades k1-6 meeting five days a week before school. The afternoon program serves middle school and high school students who meet Tuesdays and Thursdays after school. Students receive group instruction which includes instrument sectionals and string orchestra rehearsals, weekly individual lessons, and rehearsals with piano accompaniment. Our current student population ranges from ages four to eighteen years old.

We use different methods and techniques of string pedagogy, including the Colourstrings method, combined with ear training, music theory, and solfege singing. Our unique approach nurtures every child’s potential, guiding them to reach their highest levels of musical excellence. Our students have the opportunity to perform in solo recitals, small ensembles, and orchestra concerts at different venues in the Boston area throughout the year. 

Boston String Academy offers students the opportunity to attend professional performances in the Boston area, such as those given by the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the Boston Philharmonic, Celebrity Series of Boston, A Far Cry Chamber Orchestra, Handel and Haydn Society, Cherry Street Music, among others. Our flagship programs include participation in Masterclasses, Festivals & Collaborations
