Where children don't just learn about violin, viola or cello,-
they learnt to think in music.
A musicianship- first orchestral strings program where children develop musical understanding through listening, singing, movement, ensemble playing and joyful music making.
At AudiStrings, children learn music from the inside out. Before reading music notation on a page, they first learn to hear music, feel rhythm, recognise tonal patterns, and develop the inner understanding needed for confident orchestral string playing.
This is not your traditional Orchestral Strings Classes
Many beginner strings programs focus heavily on posture, finger numbers and note reading from the very beginning.
While technique is important, AudiStrings believes true musical understanding must come first
Our program combines:

Music Learning Theory-inspired teaching

This philosophy encourages children to:
-
Hear music before reading it
-
Develop rhythm and tonal understanding naturally
-
Learn through active music making
-
Build understanding before memorisation
-
Become independent and expressive musicians
