Jordan Junior Strings was founded 28 years ago by Elaine Bonner. Elaine was inspired to teach by her oldest son's teacher who used the Suzuki Method of teaching. Elaine has combined the Suzuki Method with her own techniques to successfully teach the viloin and viola to hundreds of children. Elaine's pupils are organised into groups and orchestras which perform regularly and hold annual concerts. She has taken her pupils on tour to several European cities where they have performed in prestigious venues. Many of Elaine's pupils have moved on to study at Public Schools, Music Colleges and Universities and many have won scholarships and awards at famous Institutions including Wycombe Abbey, Marlborough College, Headington, Oundel, St. Anne's, The Menuhin School, Wells Cathedral School and the Purcell School. Elaine and her pupils have have often performed to Ambassadors, Prime Ministers and Royalty.
