Course description

This course focuses on the further development of ensemble playing skills for violin, viola, cello and double bass in a fun and friendly atmosphere.

Participants will be placed in one of two string orchestras depending on their experience and ability.

Players will benefit from sectional and full rehearsals which will improve their overall technique and enhance their musical development and understanding.

Course members will also come together to form a choir and they will share string orchestra and vocal items with family and friends during the end of course performance in the impressive Benenden School Centenary Concert Hall.

All of our staff who work with children and young people have a current enhanced disclosure through the Disclosure & Barring Service and we run a programme of regular child protection training for our teachers.
