Private Lessons
Lessons are a one on one experience that is considered long term. Emphasis is placed on technique and literature that will make the student a solid musician. Lessons will generally follow a similar outline/curriculum with adjustments and personalization for each student. Emphasis is first placed on solidification of fundamental techniques of each instrument. Once the basics of those skills are solid, more emphasis will be placed on more advanced qualities of musicianship.
Coaching
Coachings are short term experiences (between one and six sessions), focused on a specific piece or technique. Coachings can cover a wide range of topics, from song interpretation, to sole focus on violin shifting, to ear training, to audition preparation. They are distinguished from lessons not only in the sense that they are short term, but that there is a single, specific goal in mind.
Group Lessons
If two to five students of the same instrument and similar levels wish, group lessons can be arranged. Like individual lessons the emphasis will be placed on technique and musicianship, following a curriculum designed/modified for the instructor for the specific group. Groups may be formed by students (ex: friends or roommates who wish to take lessons together) or by the instructor (ex: 3 students of similar skill level from the waitlist interested in group lessons).
Group Classes
Group classes: when there is sufficient interest, group classes may be offered. Such classes are usually structured around a specific subject (ex: 8 Week Beginning Violin, Music Reading in 2 Easy Sessions). Classes are essentially the group equivalent of coachings.
We are also working on offering some classes in a course form that can be purchased on the site and followed along at each student’s own pace. Stay tuned to our social media to know when new courses drop.
