Description

 Group Violin Lessons

So, you’ve always wanted to learn the violin but thought you had left it too late to learn- the reality is, it’s never too late! If you’ve got the time and are committed, our experienced and passionate tutor will take you step-by-step through learning the violin. The emphasis will be on perfecting your posture, hand position, and bowing technique; details like how your little finger rests on your bow, the shape of your wrist, and the way you stand can have a great impact on how you sound. The course will also teach you how to read sheet music; tune the violin and tension the bow, providing you with a solid foundation in mastering this beautiful instrument. These hour-long classes in a relaxed and enjoyable learning environment are designed to build your skills week-to-week. In a busy world where time is limited and distractions are everywhere, it’s easy to put our passions and dreams on the back burner. However, pursuing our creative interests can be incredibly refreshing and greatly improve our physical and mental health.
