Entrance Requirements

Students of all ages are welcome, but Strings Without Boundaries can't accomodate beginners. All participants should have a minimum of three or four years of study on their instrument and be able to read music because most instructors will balance teaching by ear and as well as sheet music at each session.

If you are not sure about your skill level, you can contact Steve Benham.
