Lessons are offered in violin and viola, available to all ages and skill levels.

Studio location: Lessons are offered at 350 Mission Street, in the classrooms next to the Vintage Faith Church / The Abbey Coffee Lounge. A great spot to relax and grab a snack before or after lesson time!

Suzuki method: For beginners, we follow the Suzuki method and repertoire curriculum. As students progress past the initial phases, we begin to add supplemental material. Advanced students move on to standard performance repertoire and may participate in chamber music groups.

Music theory: Lessons include instrumental practice paired with musical literary and general education. A portion at the end of each lesson is dedicated to a basic music theory curriculum, ranging from note-reading to advanced harmony and song structure.

Lesson options:

• Private Lessons: Students take 1 hour of private lessons per week. For our beginning students, this hour is split into two 30-minute half lessons across the week. 

• Studio Class: We offer a 1 hour group class every week. In this class, students play for and learn from each-other, reinforcing technique and learning how to play as a group.

•  Fiddle Class: New this year is a weekly fiddle class! Separate from our Suzuki curriculum, this fiddle class is focused on learning folk music. We meet on Thursday evenings. All ages and skill levels are welcome, though geared to adult beginner-intermediate level players.
