String orchestra is designed to take over where the violin, viola and cello classes finish. When children decide, after two years of learning one of these instruments in an EYM group, that they would like to have individual private lessons, they can continue playing in a group by joining the string orchestra. This would normally be at P5 level.  Depending on numbers of children and range of levels, there are sometimes two string orchestras, junior and senior.  String orchestra is also open to children of similar levels, who have learned their instruments outwith EYM.  There is no upper age limit, although currently the oldest pupils are 13.

The orchestra is conducted by Anne Giles.
