String Quartet

Advanced/Professional Group 

Advanced to professional string quartets. Several will have very complicated rhythms, 5th position and higher and the need to be a soloist in a group. Forcing the student to develop great time, excellent pitch and become a independent player while functioning in a small group. The original and amazing string quartets of Mozart, Beethoven and Debussy just to name a couple. The use of string quartets through out history has been a place to explore music. The greatest themes for Symphonys were worked out via the string quartet. Most composers did not have an orchestra on call to play though the pieces so they could often times pull together 4 or 5 musicians to play through the ideas the composer was presenting.
