What Families Say About Us

Spring viola Lessons For Kids

Our teachers are especially equipped for working with children of all ages, but especially those from 5-12. Most teachers will incorporate the Suzuki Method or Essential Elements for preschool through middle school students and more traditional repertoire for high school or advanced students. To make viola lessons more interesting and well-rounded, many teachers use popular pieces as supplemental materials, often letting the students pick out their favorite pieces. These pieces are perfect for recitals, which occur twice a year, and will help motivate students to reach their goals.
