NEW STRINGS PROGRAM

NEW STRINGS PROGRAM

With the appointment of a new Head of Strings, Rex Carr-White, St Hilda’s is reimagining our approach to our strings program in the Junior School. In 2022, St Hilda’s will be introducing the Beginner Primo Strings program which has been designed to create a more sustainable approach to developing life-long string players, who have a passion for their instrument. There is enormous benefi t in children starting to learn a string instrument at an early age. They progress faster and begin to build it into their routines at an earlier stage, giving them a strong foundation that supports an ongoing love for the instrument. With this in mind, students from Pre Primary through to Year 4 can participate in the strings program. The program is not compulsory; only those interested in playing a string instrument can take up this experience. To ensure each child receives the individual attention they need in order to learn a complex instrument, there will be a limit on the number of places off ered. We look forward to bringing this reimagined program to our Junior School in 2022.
