VIOLIN, VIOLA & CELLO LESSONS IN AHWATUKEE
It's no secret that there are many positive aspects to learning a string instrument (such as Violin, Viola, and Cello). In addition to learning for oneself, there are opportunities available to play in school and community orchestras & ensembles. Stringed instruments have a beautiful tone from the higher and cheerful violin to the deep and rich cello. Lessons include important techniques such as tuning, posture, fingering, pitch, plucking, bowing, pizzicato and much more.
Students can be as young as 5 years old, or younger with the teacher's approval. Our students love learning the fundamentals, as well as incorporating their favorite songs into their lessons.
The violin teachers have friendly personalities and love working with children, teens and adults.
