Muswell Hill Violin Studio

rted this project with the idea of giving our private students the opportunity to perform and share learning with their peers, as this could be one of the best motivations to play an instrument! It’s known that individual lessons are the core of instrumental teaching but they are not enough by themselves; musicianship and ensemble playing are key for a thorough development of the young musician. We also know how hard it is for parents to find enough time for their children to attend individual+musicianship+ensemble+orchestra classes. That’s why we have designed this program in which musicianship and ensemble are integrated in the group lesson, so the one-to-one can be more focused on technique and repertoire. Regular concerts are held at the end of every term to share all the work done with families and friends and to give students the opportunity to perform regularly in front of an audience.
