About us 

Strings, Inc. is a non-profit arts organization dedicated to providing professional personalized violin instruction according to the Suzuki method for students in south-central Indiana.  Although located primarily in the Jasper/Ferdinand area, during its history Strings has served students from Dubois, Spencer, Orange, Pike, Daviess, Gibson, Martin and Crawford counties.  Strings, Inc. was formed in part because local school districts in these counties do not offer stringed instrument instruction in their schools. 

​

In 1988, Strings, Inc. was founded in Dubois County with seventeen students and one part-time instructor.  Today the program serves over 75 violin and viola students from Dubois, Spencer, Martin, Orange and Gibson Counties, ranging in age from 3 years old to adult.  Strings, Inc.’s success and continued growth has been achieved in part through numerous free demonstration programs, presented annually to local elementary schools by both students and instructors.  Unlike larger city schools that offer an orchestra program, no local school district provides any string instrument education.  The Strings program aims to fill this void and it currently serves as the only organized string music education program in the Dubois, Spencer, Pike and Martin County areas.
