Comments
I have been involved with Exeter Young Strings for two years.
I started with Music Awareness. I enjoyed it because I had lots of friends there and I like singing. I liked all the rhythms too.
After Music Awareness I chose to start learning the cello. I have individual lessons and I play with a group. I like the group lesson best because there are friends to play the same part as me.
Every term there is a concert and I like the concert because everybody hears me play and I hear everyone else play too. After the concert we have a buffet tea which is yummy.

Old violins, unwanted cellos, unused music…
Help us to help others - we need your old instruments.
Give us your outgrown or disused fiddles, cellos, basses and violas.
Give us music stands, sheet music or anything that might be helpful for a young musician. We can use them right now!
Pre-Instrumental Training
Make your child's musical development fun! With us, they will learn basic musical concepts via games and song and activities with percussion instruments.
While they play & enjoy themselves, the children will grow in co-ordination and general aural training, without tears.

Chamber Groups
We have chamber groups for all levels of skill:
There's a group just for you! Try a free session with one and see how great they are!
Theory
Music theory does not need to be dull. Put solid understanding behind your practical playing skills.
The theory group is for any teenager or child when you are about to start the higher practical grades [grade 5+].
