Bow & Heart

We had so much fun that we forgot to post! 🤭 Not only did we learn about composer Ignatius Sancho (and listen to our teachers play one of his compositions), we also worked on posture and dynamics.

AND, we’re getting ready for our final four classes of the year starting May 7 in Battery Park and the West Village - don’t forget to sign up! In the meantime, see you on this week for “Band Practice Sunday” (check your emails tomorrow, friends!)

Thank you for the BEAUTIFUL photos, ❤️

🚨BIG news, friends! We at .and.heart are so happy to announce our final four group class dates of the year. We’ve partnered with our wonderful friends at to bring our instruction beneath the beautiful trees of the Woodlands on May 7, May 21, and June 25. On June 4, we’ll have class indoors in the West Village!

Join us for what’s sure to be a blast. Sign up at bowandheart.com or send any questions to us here or at [email protected] . 🎻🌳

🚨BIG news: Group classes are OFFICIALLY in full swing and may we just say, we had a ball today. 🎻 Thank you to our awesome students, parents, and teachers for an hour of not only beautifully playing our Suzuki pieces, but also being willing to learn how to communicate musically. We cannot WAIT for the rest of the semester.

What’s that you say?! Suzuki group class starts again in FIVE DAYS?! We are BURSTING with excitement!

Have you signed up yet? It’s not too late. Find us at the link in bio, DM us here, or email [email protected] .

Classes are $25 a pop and are in the West Village through April (stay tuned for our late spring/summer dates indoors *and* outdoors 🌳)

Come play your violin with us! And maybe have a cupcake too. 🧁

To say we are excited is an understatement. We’ve waited MONTHS to say that we are BACK and ready to see you *indoors* with your violins!!! 🎻

Are you taking Suzuki violin lessons in NYC and need a group class? Are you a Suzuki violin teacher with students who may be interested, and/or would you like to teach a class with us?

This winter, we’re meeting every-other-Sunday at 1pm in the West Village. We would love to see you. DM us here, send an email to [email protected], or click our link in bio to find out more.

HOORAY for 2022, friends! We hope you had wonderful holiday celebrations full of relaxation, good health, and hopefully a little hot chocolate (our favorite). ☕️

Normally, we take off January to brainstorm and refresh for our winter/spring semester. This year, we’re “hibernating” a little longer until late spring and early summer: we want to keep everybody healthy by avoiding group gatherings indoors while it’s cold, and, two of our faculty members are expecting babies very soon! 🍼

Not to fear: Bow & Heart likes to call it “productive hibernation” and we’re cooking up some awesome park classes and Zoom sessions for a bit later on in 2022. Don’t forget to check-in with your private teachers about what’s coming, AND keep an eye-out here, our website, and on your email inboxes for all of our EXCITING plans! 🎻💫

See you very soon, friends! Stay cozy. ☃️

WHAT an amazing day! Today was our last in-person class of the semester and it couldn’t have been more cozy and delightful. Thank you to Ms. Chelsea and Ms. Hilary for leading a fabulous class and bringing the yummy hot chocolate, and to our students and families for their excitement and beautiful playing. We can’t wait until the next time we’re all together!

Have a wonderful holiday and we’ll see you on Zoom in December, friends!

We had a SUPER spooktacular Halloween class yesterday on Zoom! We discovered eerie extended techniques on our instruments (col legno skeleton bones, tremolo wind), learned a spooky piece, and revisited some of our favorite Suzuki pieces with a Halloween twist.

Swipe to see Ms. the lamb working on spider bows, Ms. the wizard leading us in an A Minor Twinkle, and Ms. the flower child trying to catch it all on camera📱🎃👻

Warm-ups, bow games, flying music, concerto teamwork, rubber-band scrolls, walking-while-playing, jell-os and blues… whatever we’re up to in class, it’s a BALL! Another super fun park class in the books thanks to our teachers , , and , and our awesome students and families who made the trek to Central Park today! 🌟🎻

TOMORROW! It’s only a day away! We can’t WAIT to see you in Battery Park for our kick-off class (complete with pizza). It’s not too late to sign up: DM us here or email [email protected] for more details on tomorrow and the rest of our exciting semester. 🎻✨

HELLO from your friends at Bow & Heart! Boy have we missed you this summer. We can hardly contain our excitement to be back.

While we’d hoped for indoor, in-person classes this fall, we’ve decided that as we’re still learning more about the Delta variant, we’ll keep each other safe by meeting outdoors in our city’s BEAUTIFUL parks. We’ll also meet once-a-month online too, because wasn’t that awesome last year?

In the coming days, we’ll announce our park locations for outdoor classes, and our fabulous themes for our Zoom classes. Take a peek at the second slide for dates.

Here’s some more exciting news: registration is NOW OPEN! We welcome all New York City violinists to our park classes, and violinists from around the globe to our Zoom instruction. If you’re interested, there are a few ways to sign-up or grab some more information:
