Tacoma String Symphony

Developing string musicians in the Tacoma String Symphony build ensemble skills, healthy techniques, and confidence through engaging repertoire.

Tacoma String Symphony (TSS)

Tacoma String Symphony (TSS) introduces young string musicians to the rewarding experience of making music as part of an ensemble while building the foundational skills necessary for future orchestral success. Through the study of engaging and varied repertoire, students strengthen essential techniques such as tone production, intonation, rhythm, bow control, and music reading while developing the listening, communication, and teamwork skills that are at the heart of ensemble performance. TSS provides a supportive environment in which students gain confidence, establish healthy playing habits, and lay the groundwork for continued musical growth in TYSA’s upper-level string ensembles. TSS is conducted by Ms. Rebecca Pelandini.

Rehearsals

Rehearsals for String Symphony are held on Saturdays from 12:00 PM to 1:45 PM in Studio 1 of the Tacoma City Theaters.
