WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
"I had not played my -or any - violin for more than 30 years. I’m so happy that [IM] started since I’ve been able to return to playing. It’s so much fun! I’ve met great people, and I’ve gained a lot of confidence in my playing. No matter what your level is, there is a place for you in the DASC community."
​
"I walked into my first [IM] with just about one year of musical experience after deciding to learn the violin as an adult. That first session was terrifying - but instead of finding judgement, I found support, kindness, patience, and camaraderie throughout the camp. Four sessions later, [IM] continues to be a place of self-growth, personal accomplishment, and a lot of silly, low-pressure FUN! While I have certainly grown as a violinist through [IM], I have most loved the simple, magical experience of playing music with other people."
- Ashley R.
"Denver Adult Strings Camp [presented by IM] has been a wonderful addition to my life. As a four-week intensive camp, it's just enough time to dive back into playing with a group without it being too much of a commitment outside of work and family. I appreciate the emphasis on learning, improvement, and fun for adults seeking a community that want to play in a symphony without the added stress or pressure of auditions or competition."
"My violin languished lonely and quiet for four decades after I finished high school. I had always enjoyed playing, especially in an orchestra, but once you become an adult there are few opportunities to play with others if you're not a professional or have a "day job". Finding [IM] re-ignited my love for my instrument and joining others in making music. The support and encouragement from Sarah and the professional musicians working with [IM] is amazing! Through [IM], I've made friends, felt pride in my performance, and embarked on taking lessons again. You know you want to join [IM]! Lean in and make music!"
-Michele H.
"I loved the music selections, and there was such an accepting and patient atmosphere that somehow I was not nervous in the least at our performance. I very much appreciated how organized the entire endeavor was, and there was great communication from Sarah."
