About this title

About the Author

Adam Crane has been in the classical music world as a performer, professor, advocate, conductor, composer, lecturer, curriculum consultant, and music educator of students age 3 – 93+ (yes, really), and has been listening! Listening to what? For decades, Adam has been focusing his attention to listening more keenly to what his students and their families have been saying — How classical music was a dying art that is suffering greatly, downsized to the point of non-existence in main stream education. Refusing to accept this, he began to think, and create. "The Quest for String Playing Mastery" was composed over decades and now has evolved to become StringQuest.com -- the most enjoyable music resources on earth!
