Q: "Is it a Violin or is it a Fiddle?!"
A:  "There are 2 names for this amazing instrument!"
Q: "Can family members take music lessons together &/or have lessons back to back?"

Fun Options for Family & Friends

Private Lessons: Take 30 min. private lessons back to back with a friend or family member (example: 1 guitar & 1 violin) and spend part of the time playing music together!
Q: "What do students learn beyond playing songs?"
A:  “In order to learn to play the Violin like a pro (achieve great sound), there are a number of skills that are focused on during lessons:
  • Good form and posture
  • Left hand Violin hold/position (for ease of playing and visual effect)
  • Excellent right hand bow hold (classic bow hold for agility - freedom of movement)
  • Intonation Success! (Learn the secret techniques for playing in tune on the Violin’s fretless fingerboard!)
  • Rhythm! (Learn how to tap out the rhythm to keep time while playing the Violin as well as how to play in time with  other instruments)
  • The Violin learning method uses the aural music tradition of 
‘Listen, Watch & Play!’ as well as standard music notation with ‘Tabs’ for easy reading!
Q: "Will there be opportunities for students to play together?"
