Our Vision

Music is a vital part of living and learning. If you come to this workshop you will find musicians of varying standards who enjoy making music a daily part of their life and who love to learn. In particular we love to play music in ensembles so that we can learn from, and support each other building enduring friendships. This workshop is especially designed for learners of all standards and in particularly the late starters. 

The cost for this workshop is $245. After costs, proceeds from the St ALBANS STRINGS weekend workshop will help support music education in the local MacDonald primary school.
