The social interaction helps these students stay motivated and challenged in a supportive, friendly environment. Each course will follow either the Suzuki or Traditional Method at the discretion of the teacher, and is taught by one of our violin instructors with a university degree in violin. Each class is a 45 minute session and limited to just 6 students per class. Students will either progress into the next group level or into private lessons. These classes are meant for beginner level students. Group violin lessons are offered for beginners ages 5-9 or ages 10+.
