We recommend getting students involved in music however possible, in particular in private lessons. In addition to our own offerings, local teachers offer quality strings education that is crucial to a holistic musical education.

Check out the area's offerings for learning string instruments! These are the violin teachers, viola teachers, cello teachers, and bass teachers who have openings for students in the Peru, La Salle, and Ottawa areas.
