Beginning strings
Beginning Strings is a limited-size class for students with little or no training on a stringed instrument (violin, viola, cello, bass) or those trained in Suzuki but not yet reading music. Students must be at least 9 years old, though exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis. Parents are strongly encouraged to learn along with beginning students!
Beginning Strings is not equivalent to private violin lessons. It is a group class similar to what you might find in schools.
Before the first class, participating families must meet with Mr. McBane for an instrument evaluation (if you already have an instrument) or an instrument fitting (if you don’t), and a consultation in which class requirements and expectations will be discussed. Each student must have an instrument of acceptable quality, either owned or rented. Bravo does not provide instruments! Renting from a local violin shop is often the best option. Please consult with us before purchasing an instrument, especially online! Many instruments sound like a bargain but are a waste of your money - unplayable, untunable, and frustrating.
Beginning Strings normally meets from 11:30-12:30 on Mondays.
