About Us: Based in Bristol,
UK, we are highly experienced String teachers
holding Performing Diplomas and Prizes from
International Competitions. Our new Wps site opened in January 2001 (It was
previously known as The Charles Dancla String School which opened in 1998).
With internet technology top
advice from teachers from The St. Petersburg School (School of Mikhail Vainman)
can now reach string players worldwide. Also for the first time ever, a
large database of study notes on standard étude repertoire is being compiled
and made freely available. Over the last decade we have taught hundreds of
pupils in the South West of England, and this site compliments and supports
these students outside lesson time. We also hope to
assist string players and pupils throughout the world by furthering the
pedagogical resources available online.
This site is free.
There is no subscription fee. Please use, print out, copy and take all the
information away with you for free !
Donations via paypal to
wps@blueyonder.co.uk are
appreciated, however, and will help keep the site sunning and expanding.
