The String Pedagogy track is an excellent choice for the music major who wishes to develop a private music studio. The String Preparatory program provides a model school with excellent opportunities for studying how young people learn strings from the beginning: preschool through advanced levels. In addition to taking numerous pedagogy courses and completing a practicum, you’ll get hands-on teaching opportunities in Maranatha’s String Prep School. Opportunities of this range and breadth are not common in Christian circles, but Maranatha is committed to developing students’ string skills and abilities for God’s glory.

String pedagogy majors not only learn how to teach effectively but also learn important business aspects of how to operate a private music studio. You can also pursue this major if you’re interested in teaching and preparing for a career in performance.

For more information, please be sure to also check out the catalog, the prospective musicians section, the music handbook, and the performing groups.
