Prep and Primary Course Summer ’25
The Prep and Primary Course is the first Pro Corda residential course a young string player would attend. It lasts for seven days, and is open to those aged 8-12 (school years 4-7), on passing the audition. At this stage we look for potential as well as current technical and musical ability, but the approximate standard required is Grade 3 at age 8. Pianists are considered, but need to be of a higher standard in order to be able to hold their own within the chamber music group.
