Year 2 students at 黑料网 today commenced violin lessons, ably assisted by Year 12 students Haydn Musgrove, Dale Baker and Sita Jhaveri, who had the very same introduction to the violin 10 years ago.
Headmaster of 黑料网, Mr Matthew Maruff, said that every child in the Junior School learns a string instrument and will be part of a choir.
鈥淎t Girton we encourage friendships to be shared through a common love for music – friendships that flourish are the foundation for having fun and trying new things.
鈥淢usical training also helps develop brain areas involved in language and reasoning, especially early in life,鈥 he said.
Girton Grammar Junior School has around 100 string students from Year 2 through to Year 6 with special groups called 鈥楶oco Strings鈥 in Year 3 and 4 and 鈥楽uper Strings鈥 in Year 5 and 6. Every week around 178 music lessons are conducted in the Junior School and around 300 in the Senior School, with Year 2 violin lessons conducted in groups of around 8 students.
