Luxury Start
Opening for 1 new student, age 4 or 5. Daily 30- minute sessions, Monday through Friday.
If your child has a natural affinity for the violin, this is an incredible opportunity to get the very best start possible. Every session will be guided by an experienced teacher with conservatory level standards. The most difficult part of starting an instrument is usually finding motivation to practice. This program removes that challenge by having a master teacher work with the student daily.
Practice Intensives
Students engage in 5 days of consecutive lessons. This is an opportunity to delve deeply into technical mastery and reach for new heights artistically.
