STRETTO is first and foremost a TEAM of music lovers 
who participate in learning and teaching 
TOGETHER in an immersion based music learning program.

The leaders in our group do an excellent job of caring for the other students and tutoring within the group. They lead by example and through care. That is why they are chosen to lead.
There is no hierarchy to the seating in our group. We want to have strength everywhere.
Competitive comparison is not encouraged within our group. Excellence comes from each person doing his/her best out of personal integrity.
Younger students get to participate prior to complete fluency, so that they can be immersed in watching and listening with the older students who are at higher levels of fluency.
Not everyone will play all of every piece, but everyone will be "learning" all the time.
Whether playing or listening, every student's personal responsibility is to remain focused.
