Pete and Ginger are so much fun and such talented violinists! Over the course of 8 weeks, you'll learn how to properly hold a violin and bow, plus you'll learn how to play one song. And at the end of the 8 weeks there's an awesome recital in Brooklyn - a super cool atmosphere and supportive group, I'd recommend this class to all.
