Violin and Viola

Our violin and  viola students come to us to prepare for all-state competitions, supplement their orchestra classes, or to learn how to play a string instrument on their own.

All strings teachers customize lessons to individual student abilities and goals.

Beginner lessons focus on proper technique, arm position, and form to set good posture habits from the start. Lessons progress to include double stops, hand articulation, shifting, trills, and vibrato.

Our string teachers incorporate a variety of string pedagogy methods including Paul Rolland and Suzuki methods.

Weekly lessons include: ear training, note reading, scales, etudes/technique, repertoire, recital/performance preparation.

Students receive positive encouragement during weekly lessons and custom practice assignments to build skills between lessons at home. When all the hard work pays off, there’s no better feeling.
