What do finger puppets, a plate balanced on your head, and a violin have in common? 🎻
Around here, sometimes quite a lot.
In our Kickstart class, beginning violinists learn through a rote-to-note approach. Before we ask young students to decode everything they see on a page, we give them time to experience the instrument first—to listen, imitate, move, play, and discover what it feels like to make music.
As those skills become comfortable, we gradually connect what they already know to written notation.
The result? Instead of trying to learn everything at once, students get to build on success. They can feel capable at their instrument early on, and that confidence gives them a strong foundation for everything that comes next.
And sometimes, apparently, it also involves excellent balance. 😉
