INTRO TO STRINGS
The PHPS Intro to Strings course has been developed for those wanting to try violin without too much upfront commitment. We know that buying an instrument and finding a teacher can seem overwhelming when you are not sure how long your child will even stay interested!!
That is why we have acquired violins to hire out and developed a one term course to start kids on the basics so they can get a good idea if it something they might wish to continue. It is a great way to let your child try out an instrument in a fun, informal environment.
It is run for one term, before school on a weekday morning at the K-2 site. No prior experience is required and the ensemble has some violins available for hire (on a first come first served basis). Please email enquiries to phpsstrings@gmail.com
