The award winning - nationally acclaimed South Pasadena Strings Program offers music instruction to students beginning as young as 3 years old through adult. The program has earned many honors, and our ensembles continue to appear on national television, including NBC television and ABC's Eye on LA.

Most recently, members of the South Pasadena Children's Orchestra were seen in the Tournament of Roses parade performing on the South Pasadena float. In December 2009, the orchestra was featured on KCET’s PBS Holiday celebrations.

Our most recent trip to a prestigious, invitation-only festival at Carnegie Hall in New York City earned us the highest rating of Gold and a World Record for the youngest orchestra (ages 5 to 12) ever recorded to perform at Carnegie Hall.

Throughout the year the Strings Program offers group classes and private lessons in the areas of strings, piano, voice, flute, recorder. Our program is well known for our popular KinderPiano® and KinderViolin® classes, designed for our young beginners.
