VIOLIN AND VIOLA LESSONS FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS We teach private violin and viola lessons for all levels, and students may also add a Star Power Band for the ultimate music making opportunity. Researchers agree that learning to play an instrument improves test scores, helps students with higher math achievement, builds self confidence, improves coordination and problem-solving, increases fine motor development and much more – including fostering the basic intrinsic value of developing a love and joy for the arts and music. Performances are available for each level of study. PLUS: Join our Practice Club with weekly prizes and chances to win a local area gift certificate twice each year.
