For new and returning students

VCS string orchestra 

Please note - Beginner Strings Enrollment

The Beginner String Orchestra has a limited enrollment of 12 students at a time. This allows for more individualized instruction.

If a student is not invited to enroll in Beginner Strings by Grade 3, they are strongly encouraged to:

  • Take private lessons with a string instructor for one year.

  • Join the Junior Strings program by Grade 4.

This provides a clear pathway for students, even if they don't start in the beginner program immediately.

If you are already in our strings program, you do not need to audition each year.
If you are new and wish to join our program, please download PDF instructions according to your age group.
