Stream 2: Students who have been playing strings for 1-3 years, who are interested in meeting new friends who also share a passion for music and fun, as well as learning how to play music as an ensemble!
Ages 7-12
For players with 0-1 years of experience (Stream 1) or 1-3 years of experience (Stream 2)
