In January of 2012 Parlando introduced the Advanced String Academy (ASA). The ASA provides string students with a seamless integration of private lessons, group classes, masterclasses, special performance opportunities and access to guest artists. Students accepted into the ASA have the opportunity to discover their full potential in the most comprehensive, engaging and rigorous programming available - and they have fun doing it!
ASA instructors are Britt Swenson (violin), Liz Dinwiddie (viola) and Elle Wells (cello).
