Joining one of our groups just requires you to have some idea about reading music and, for adults, the enthusiasm to revisit long forgotten childhood talent, or to take up a new challenge as an adult learning an instrument! We also offer beginner string instrument group lessons for children curious or interested about the experience of learning a string instrument and would like to try, we have in
struments available for hire as part of our Bean Sprout programme and the children learn in group of 2-3 students
The Instrumentals offer four great opportunities for ensemble playing:
BEAN SPROUTS - for brand new, have-a go string beginners. Borrow an instrument and enjoy small group lessons with other beginners. BUDS - for kids who have been learning for a year. The Buds learn technique and are introduced to the skills of ensemble playing. STRING BEANS - for kids with a bit more experience. The Beans develop their ensemble technique and performance skills. DORKESTRA and AWKWARDSTRA - a group of adults with one thing in common - they struggle to play their musical instruments in time, in tune and with the notes in the right order… but have a lot of fun trying!
