Hi, I'm Clayton!

I am happy to introduce a new summer music opportunity for young musicians in the Prescott, AZ area: Prescott Summer Strings! This is aimed toward families with children enrolled in public-school orchestra programs in PUSD and the surrounding area, and who want their young musicians to excel at playing their instruments, even during summer break.

Music skills in young string musicians typically get rusty over the summer. My hope is that Prescott Summer Strings will counter that phenomenon and actually enhance students' abilities and love for music.

This program constitutes private lessons with one-on-one instruction centered around the four basic principles listed below. While time spent in an orchestra classroom offers invaluable experience to improve musicianship, private lessons uniquely increase technical ability in young players. Prescott Summer Strings is a fantastic option for students of all ages, regardless of whether they have had previous experiences with a private music teacher. While violin is my instrument of focus, viola, cello, and double bass players are also invited to sign up!
