Private Lessons

It is generally recommended for students – especially beginners – to continue their musical instrument education year-round.  There are many opportunities with orchestra camps and private lessons to stay involved especially during the summer months.  String camps and lessons programs provide students with an opportunity to maintain playing skills in a new environment for building relationships, exploring techniques, and growing through music education!

You can always check with your orchestra teacher for recommendations, and we also provide our customers with private teacher recommendations and matchmaking based on their location, age/playing ability, and other requirements.  Please complete the Private Teacher Request Form below and we will be in touch!

The American String Teachers Association (ASTA) maintains an active database of private teacher members on their website.

Founded in 1946, the American String Teachers Association (ASTA) exists to support string and orchestra teachers and players. ASTA members range from budding student teachers to artist-status performers. The organization provides teaching resources, professional education, local and national events, a career center, insurance programs, and access to a vibrant and collaborative strings community.

The Suzuki Association of Americas (SAA) maintains an active database of private teacher members on their website.

Shinichi Suzuki was a violinist, educator, philosopher and humanitarian. Born in 1898, he studied violin in Japan for some years before going to Germany in the 1920s for further study. After the end of World War II, Dr. Suzuki devoted his life to the development of the method he calls Talent Education.

Suzuki based his approach on the belief that “Musical ability is not an inborn talent but an ability which can be developed. Any child who is properly trained can develop musical ability, just as all children develop the ability to speak their mother tongue. The potential of every child is unlimited.”

Dr. Suzuki’s goal was not simply to develop professional musicians, but to nurture loving human beings and help develop each child’s character through the study of music.
