Violins and bows are provided for the class, but if you already have an instrument please bring it along with you!

Classes take place at our studio in London WC2H (nearest tube: Piccadilly Circus / Charing Cross / Leicester Square)

We recommend flat shoes and short fingernails for the most comfortable experience!

You don't need to have any prior musical experience for this class - it's taught by ear, and we'll show you everything you need to know!
