Presto! and Vivace! Strings

Presto! Strings place violins, violas, and cellos in the hands of 3rd-5th grade students for first-year, entry-level string music education.  Having completed at least one year of Presto! Strings, student matriculate into our year-two string program, Vivace! Strings.  In some cases, students who are identified as accelerated learners may be placed directly in Vivace! Strings.

Hosted in venues such as schools, community centers, and religious centers, Presto! provides an inexpensive, convenient, and sustainable way for students to begin learning a string instrument. LYO comes to you to ensure every child can access music education.
