the violin, read music, and learn to recognize sounds by ear. All levels of musical experience are
welcomed, and students are required to have their own instrument on which to practice.
Not only do we want to help increase a student’s technical abilities, but they
should also foster a love for music, both of which we will strive for during private lessons.
Group violin lessons-It is just as important to learn how to collaborate with other
musicians as it is to develop your own craft. Group lessons will consist of basic ensemble
playing, potentially with multiple string parts, and rehearsals will be geared towards
a performance for friends and family. Our goal in group lessons is to generate a sense of artistic
community as we make music together.
