Our Approach to Violin & Viola Lessons

02 We Emphasize Healthy Technique
Strong fundamentals are key to efficient, effortless playing and optimal sound. We teach students essential instrument care and set-up, tuning, healthy playing posture, bowing, and hand positioning. Our skilled instructors also take students through regular ear training exercises to foster the development of good pitch.
Additionally, we strive to ensure our students become literate musicians through lessons in scales, music theory, rhythm, and sight-reading. More advanced students will build a broader repertoire of technique, including vibrato, double-stop and chord playing; more advanced bow strokes such as spiccato, sautillé, and up-bow staccato; and other higher-level musicianship concepts such as phrase analysis and score studying skills.

Questions

What’s a Good Age to Begin Violin or Viola Lessons?
Children can begin studying the violin or viola as young as ages 4 or 5, but we welcome students of all ages, including adults!
Even so, not all 5-year-olds are ready to begin lessons on a stringed instrument. The minimum age we recommend a student start violin lessons is 6 years old. There is a lot of debate surrounding what is the appropriate age to start violin. We have found students who start at ages 6 and up do best. Violin is a complex instrument. Students younger than 6 typically do not have the developed motor skills to handle the instrument.
While children make up a good percentage of our student roster, we also love to work with adults. There is no such thing as being too old to learn an instrument! If you have the desire to learn, we have the desire to teach you—no matter your age.
