Oceana Junior Strings will hold classes on Thursdays starting Jan. 24 at Hart Middle School. The White Lake Junior Strings hold classes on Mondays starting Jan. 21 at Whitehall United Methodist Church.

The beginning-intermediate string programs are open to students from grade three through high school who wish to study violin. Classes are stream-lined to a once a week class that runs on a three-week rotation incorporating two semi-private lessons and then a group class.
