    Our violin teachers are very familiar with popular beginning string method books and the string program in public elementary schools in Irvine. We are able to work alongside what your child is learning in school if they are involved in a group class.

    Scales and other technical studies are always included in lessons because they are an important part of developing excellent technique on the violin.

    All students taking violin lessons are invited (but not required) to perform in recitals regardless of level or age.
