"This curriculum is intended to foster the early child's innate musical abilities to their fullest potential. It includes rhythm, singing, listening, and relating these to musical notes."
- Principal Karrie Tam
Try our introductory violin lessons for Kinder (Kindergarten Ages 4 - 6 )
The classes will be 30 minutes long and held weekly as group lessons. Students will be introduced to the violin, posture, bow hold, and open strings.
As a child becomes ready to play the violin, this foundation in musical interaction continues. It's important to start violin lessons with proper postures and a natural bow hold. The course is designed to ensure everyone also has fun while learning.
