“The future of music could not be in better hands.”
— Current Magazine
The Moxie Strings are dedicated educators and have spent the last 12 years inspiring, empowering, and motivating students through music. During most clinics, The Moxie Strings perform for students on electric instruments, teach music by ear, and introduce non-classical playing styles. They have researched and created an innovative sequence of activities designed to introduce improvisation to classically trained musicians, which they employ at every clinic. Diana and Alison teach enrichment workshops for students of all ages from elementary school to the collegiate level, and for both musicians and non-musicians. The Moxie Strings deliver their message in a fun, accessible way, and stand before students as the illustration of the many opportunities that music holds.
