This is a fun, non-threatening environment designed for students of all ages (18+) – the goal: to make beautiful music! You do not need to be an advanced player but you must be able to read music and have had 1-2 years of experience on your instrument.
Students must provide their own instrument, if you are in need of a rental, we can assist in setting that up through Baroque Instruments.
