Ensembles

For String players

We have 3 well established string ensembles that encourage musical development from beginners (Strings4Starters) through Lord of the Strings (a progressive 4-part ensemble experience up to grade 4) to All Strung Out, our leading string orchestra.

The ensembles perform regularly and have recently won several awards at the Harrogate Competitive Music Festival.

Recent additions

In February ’25 we created a new ensemble based at Birstwith Primary School called ‘Birstwith Bowers’.

Whether you are just starting out or looking to enhance your skills, our experienced instructor Charlie will guide you every step of the way. A brief introduction to Charlie... As a professional musician he has performed all over the country in many different genres including jazz, rock, pop, blues, and country. Years of guitar tuition has led to him gaining a breadth of experience teaching a wide range of students who have varied in age, ability and background. Having personally seen and experienced the benefits of group tuition as both a teacher and a student, the ability to learn and play alongside others is an inspirational environment that Charlie is looking forward to fostering for Harrogate’s budding guitar enthusiasts!
