Music Lessons in Christmas, FL

Instruments: Violin

For beginning students I usually start with Essential Elements 2000 for strings because it helps them get familiarized with the notes on the music staff even when they don't have any music theory knowledge. I also like to use Suzuki as they progress with the instrument and know the essentials like how to hold the instrument properly and how to hold the bow properly. Suzuki is also for beginners but it has a little more complex exercises which is why I wait to introduce Suzuki to them. Read More

It is important for students to form an appreciation for music while also creating their own identity in the art. Read More

Once the student learns basic music theory, we can then start to learn songs and apply what we learned to actual playing.
