Students joining Bristol Beacon String Group learn to play in an encouraging and friendly environment where they rehearse and perform together, whilst receiving additional coaching from instrumental specialists.
This group follows on from String Sparks and is suitable for children who have started using a ‘low 2nd finger’ on the violin/viola or 2nd finger on the cello. This is approximately Grade 1 level and we have parts that will stretch the players up to Grade 2.
Ability: Grade 1-2
Ages: 7-11
