Viola Lessons
Online and In Person
No more waiting to get to the good stuff!
We offer weekly private lessons for adult students: music readers and non-music readers, beginners and advanced players.
We also offer a flexible consultation service. Experienced players who qualify can take lessons when they wish without a weekly commitment.
You don’t have to be an advanced player to make music and achieve your goals.
These proven methods let you use the entire fingerboard and keyboard from your very first day.
Our gentle approach has nurtured concert performers as well as avid amateurs.
Some folks need more encouragement, but everyone has something to say. We’ll share proven tools in the private lesson to have you playing music the way you always dreamed.
Playing an instrument uses the same muscles as holding a crayon or spoon, but in totally different ways.
To gain comfort, it’s helpful to practice those new skills using plush toys and chunky markers, games and songs.
Even well-organized adults can have a hard time establishing a new habit, like daily music practice.
Busy people often find it impossible to practice daily. But there’s hope! Our verified system of making habits small and celebrating achievement comes from Stanford’s Behavior Design Lab.
