Popsicle Strings

Popsicle Strings is an engaging and welcoming half-day program (9am-12noon) during Regina Summer Strings designed especially for beginner string players up to age 10, with no prior musical experience required. Through fun, play-based, learning, students are introduced to the basics of violin playing in a supportive group setting that emphasizes creativity, confidence, and joy in music-making. With experienced instructors Andrea Hedlund and Katherine Achtzehner guiding each step, children explore rhythm, movement, and simple techniques while building foundational skills and a love for string playing. Perfect for beginners, Popsicle Strings offers a positive first step into the world of music, and prepares young learners for joining the full-day Regina Summer Strings program in subsequent years. Students must provide their own instruments.
