Choosing a Beginner's Instr.

The first hurdle though, is to decide on which instrument to learn?
Ukulele

Often underestimated and thought of only as a holiday instrument, the ukulele is experiencing a revival - and by no means only on Hawaii
Violas

Learning to play an Viola is a long, but rewarding journey, and this guide has been designed to help at the start.
Cello

Learning to play an instrument is a long, but immensely rewarding journey, and this guide has been designed to help at the start of that journey.
Double Basses

This guide aims to help complete beginners and existing double bass students (and their parents).
Orchestral percussion

A wide variety of percussion instruments forms the modern orchestra’s rhythm section.
