Instrument Karate

Here at LVA, students participate in what is known as Instrument Karate. Throughout their time in lessons, students will be tested on certain exercises and be able to earn belts to put on their instrument or cases. Do not be surprised when your child comes home with a piece of string on their instrument. This is all part of the Instrument Karate Program.
