Group and Studio Classes
Have Kicked-Off 🚀🎵

Our group violin lessons are in full swing, and we recently hosted our first studio class! This month, we’re also kicking off piano studio classes, adding another exciting opportunity for growth and learning.

In studio classes, selected students perform for the group while everyone participates in providing positive and constructive feedback. Sessions will cover theory, (e.g. rhythm, note reading, phrasing, etc), performance tips, and more!

If you have any questions about joining group lessons or studio classes, please consult with your teacher. Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions! 🎶
