Is your child ready to start playing a new instrument? Did you take a break from the violin and you want to come back to it? Let's talk about making the violin a part of your life! 

 take students ages 6 and up. Music for Miniatures (younger than 6) uses the Wee Violin program.

I use the Suzuki method for children and for adults Essential Elements with Suzuki. We may use other developmentally appropriate music to supplement learning. We play by ear, learn notes, and develop techniques. We assess student goals regularly.
