Violin instruction is offered as a weekly 30 minute private lesson for beginners, 45 minute for intermediate or 60 minute private lesson for advanced students. Our program is based on American and European
methods. Our teachers use a combination of European and American: Cofalic (Polish), Curci (Italian), Suzuki (Japanese), Russian and other traditional methods. While our teachers are classically trained, they can also help you learn to play pieces in the fiddle, and other styles. Private lessons are crucial to further develop the specific skills needed to become a good violinist . Whatever your goals are, our strings teachers are here to help you and personalize a lesson plan for you.
All violin lessons focus on developing good posture, holding position, intonation, bow control and technique, sound production, scales, and more. Our teachers specialize in developing students to play solo music, but also, orchestra training.
