If you are looking for Violin or Viola Lessons you are at the right place. We teach all levels. Beginners are welcome! At your first lesson your teacher will ask you about goals and musical interest and design a program just for you.
Our teachers are college educated, music teachers and musicians who are friendly and warm and who remember how much fun it is to discover music. We make it a priority to get to know you on a personal level and to become familiar with your interests, strengths, challenges and goals. We do not treat every student the same in terms of what and how we teach. Each student is an individual and we work with you to create a plan that fits your needs and musical preferences. After you learn the fundamentals, you will be able to choose to play the music you love the most.
So whether you want to play fiddle music, classical, jazz, or country; whether you are brand new or an experienced musician preparing for auditions and performances, individual violin, viola or cello lessons are essential to your success, ease and enjoyment. Through a combination of verbal instruction, games, demos, songs and exercises your South Loop School of Music teacher will help you learn to play with ease.
