ANDY BRUCE BANCHORY ACADEMY
The Astaria String Quartet has an extensive and imaginative education policy. We welcome enquiries from schools, music clubs and festivals, that offer outreach programmes or other educational schemes as part of their recital series.
All our education programmes are practically based and can be applied to students at primary schools, senior schools or to adults, whether they have prior knowledge of music or not. For coaching and masterclasses, a basic level of instrumental competency is desired.
Since their development, our education programmes have always been enthusiastically received, both by students and staff alike.
Some of our clients have included Banchory Academy in Scotland, Arts Alive, for the Rural Tours Network and the Birmingham Music Service.
Our education programmes fall into four broad categories outlined below, which can be delivered as a whole, or applied singly.
