Instruments: Violin, Viola

It depends! Everyone is different and Melissa’s goal is to tailor each student’s lesson depending on what work’s for the student, learning retention, and most important, having passion. When it comes to strings instruments such as the violin and viola, the common teaching methods would be Essential Elements book and/or Suzuki books. Everyone is different therefore not everyone is going to be taught the same way or follow the same pace. Read More

In our lessons, we will always work together to figure out each student's goals and a realistic plan to achieve them. Read More
