The camp is for beginners (4-9 years) and is perfect for those who have just started playing the violin or are considering starting.

(Please note your child will need to be able to know how to hold the violin comfortably and know the strings by name. Our camp leader Poppy is happy to give individual lessons before the camp. Depending on the learning speed, between 1-3 individual lessons beforehand would be necessary for this. For more information regarding this, please email: info@mariavrakamusicacademy.co.uk)
