In addition to Tamsin, they were taught tricks of the trade by two players from the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra. The classical violinist was in Cheltenham to perform a concert with Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra.
Steve Legge, head of instrumental and vocal tuition at Gloucestershire Music, said: "Working with the very best in the business helps our young musicians see at firsthand what is possible to achieve with hard work and commitment."
The string ensemble is planning to attend the regional festival of Music for Youth in March 2013. Interested students who are above grade five should email steve.legge@glo ucestershire.gov.uk.
