VIOLIN, VIOLA, CELLO, BASS LESSONS FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS
(for ages 5 and up)

Picture
What to expect during a typical Violin, Viola, Cello or Bass Lesson:
  • Scale Book, Technique Warm-ups, fingerings
  • Proper posture, instrument and bow hold
  • Proper bowing technique
  • Sight-reading
  • Ear training
  • Accurate intonation
  • Beautiful tone production
  • Suzuki or Method Book with or without CD
  • Repertoire Books (Classical or Student's Choice)
  • Supplementary Material (popular, jazz, seasonal, sheet music)
  • Note Speller Book or Theory Book


Our Violin, Viola or Cello instructors will teach using a blend or traditional and Suzuki approach, from learning how to play by ear, to reading music. If you want to play classical music, popular tunes, fiddle, bluegrass or Celtic, we have a teacher for you. Students can be as young as 5 years old, or younger with the teacher's approval.

Our students love learning the fundamentals, as well as incorporating your favorite songs into their lessons. Each lesson includes theory, ear training, sight reading, technique, and history. Our teachers have friendly personalities and love working with children, teens, and adults!

A beginner student will start with the fundamentals of learning the parts of the instrument, proper finger placement and bow hold, musical note reading, ear training, and learning basic songs. More advanced students continue to progress by mastering significant repertoire and developing advanced techniques such as Vibrato, Harmonics, Spiccato, Ricochet, etc. 

For Violin students only, we offer a violin rental program in our school. Violas, Cellos or Basses can be rented locally.
