Preparatory Strings focuses on developing skillful music reading ability, including fluid note recognition, rhythmic coordination, and basic instrumental technique. Young musicians build foundational skills necessary to play a broader variety of repertoire. Students do not need to audition to join this ensemble.

Rehearsals are held weekly on Monday afternoons (through the academic year) from 4:30-6:15 p.m. at the Amarillo College Music Building, Washington campus. For specifics, please view the 2024-2025 Preparatory Strings Rehearsal Schedule (En Español). 

Participating students must have at least one semester of experience with a school string ensemble and are expected to be active in the school music program that complements the student’s instrumental focus in ASYO. We aim to enhance, not replace, school programs. Please view the Required Signatures (En Español) form.
