Beginners

Each year we help hundreds of adults and children get a great start in playing a bowed instrument. We'd like to help you too!

Bowed instruments are violins, violas, cellos and double basses. You play them by drawing a bow across the strings, or by plucking or tapping the strings. You can learn to play country, pop, Celtic, rock, calypso, jazz, Klezmer, classical and every musical style in-between! If your goal is to play a bowed instrument with an orchestra (maybe at your school), you would be sitting in the String section shown in red.
