The older children generally begin a string instrument in year 1 and have a more extensive and integrated timetable of ensemble, music and movement classes as well as an individual instrumental lesson arranged around the Saturday schedule or in the week. Learning a string instrument is a particularly good choice for youngsters as it develops high levels of discipline, coordination and listening skills. It is sociable too as we like to instigate music making with others and sense of teamwork and responsibility with chamber music skills right from the start. We pride ourselves on creating ensemble arrangements to suit the needs of the individuals and also to relate these to material sung and moved to in musicianship classes so that the musical experiences are connected
