"Before becoming a part of this program my exposure to classical music performance and working with string instruments were non existent. While I was slightly intimidated at the accomplished musicians of Virtuosi, I took on the challenge of being a part of this group with energy and enthusiasm, and as a result have made huge advancements with my ability as a musician. Being a part of this phenomenal music program has given me opportunities that I would NEVER have had through the public school. Because of Virtuosi, I have committed myself to pursuing a college degree in music."
