For lessons, enquiries, and comments
Please contact Westbury Park StringsAbout 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.Welcome to our site: Contents
