Reviews on Pro Corda
More information
Description
Betty Hewlins and Pamela Spofforth were teachers of cello and violin respectively who met at a school in Surrey. Miss Hewlins was great grand daughter of the Victorian artist Henry Garland and Miss Spofforth was the grand daughter of the famous cricketer Frederick Robert Spofforth. They felt that string playing in the UK in general and ensemble playing in particular was not very good. At the beginning there were two courses per annum and each course covered a wide age range from five to eighteen. As time went on the number of courses proliferated and Pro Corda began to take on an organisational structure. In 2009 Pro Corda celebrates its 40th birthday.
