Students are highly encouraged and supported in their teaching and performing. Many
maintain private studios of their own, work toward their Suzuki certification, participate
in educational programming with theGreenwood School of Music Preparatory Academy, and volunteer as part of the Young Person Concert series with theMcKnight Center for the Performing Arts. Students have the opportunity to study chamber music in a variety of instrumentations
including the traditional string quartet. Performance opportunities are numerous and
include weekly studio class, the noon concert series at the Edmond Low Library, weekly
recital hour, required degree recitals, visiting artist masterclasses (such as with
members of the NY Philharmonic and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra), and incidental
events.
The Viola Studio at Oklahoma State University is taught by Dr. Jackie Skara.
