Music Term 1 Week 4

Year 2 String Program

Cranbrook Junior School offers every Year 2 boy the exciting opportunity to learn a violin, viola, cello or double bass in a group setting as part of the Music curriculum.

At the end of last year, boys completed instrument selection and this year they each received their instruments. Every Friday, for 45 minutes, boys meet in small groups with a specialised tutor to learn the rudiments of playing their instrument. As the year progresses boys begin to perform for each other in small groups and then towards the end of the year as a massed ensemble.

Please enjoy the photos (see below) of the boys receiving their instruments for the first time and meeting their tutors. We can’t wait to see their progress!
