String Clinic believes preparing competitions is a useful tool in motivating our students to achieve the level of playing that they could've only imagined. Competitions allow students to outperform themselves, develop endurance, and taste what it is like to be a professional musician. 

​

At String Clinic, my associate faculty members and I make sure to help students prepare competitions and gain positive experience from the process. We provide a timeline that involves a detailed picture of what it takes to fully prepare for individual student's "competition season" and provide opportunities to perform in public and for our world-class guest artists. With our guidance, students will develop a growing mindset as they learn to thrive on challenge, being able to accept both success and failure as a springboard for growth and developing their musical abilities.
