"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 - 5 )  â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹â€‹

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.

​

  • 9 weeks of introductory/foundation classes for the violin

  • 30 minutes weekly (group lesson)
