Violin Lessons Alabama

Instruments: Piano, Violin

For beginning students, I usually start with Piano Adventures curriculum, starting with just the lesson book. Around level two we will add the theory book and if the student shows an eagerness for more songs, the performance book as well. Around level four I will also add the technique and artistry book.

Instruments: Piano, Violin, Viola, Music, Classical Guitar

For beginning students, I use the first Essential Element book to introduce the first instrument and theory concepts. Once students have progressed past this book, I use the Tune a Day series along with the accompanying scale book.

For advanced students we could use anything from method books to cds to ear training and transposition to bring out the best in the learner. Read More
