Welcome to MusicLIVE Violin!

Spring Mini Session 2021 

​We are looking forward to seeing you online and at our socially-distanced & safe park meet-ups! Please check out all of our available classes, and help spread the word about our programs! 

Beginning Classes ​

The  Twinkle Class  - an 8 week introduction to violin for our littlest musicians! This is a full parent participation class and is open to children ages 3-5.  This class uses home-made practice violins and bows. Students have fun repeat this class until they are ready to move on to real violins in the Star class
The  Star Class  - an 8-week continuation of the Twinkle class for students ages 3-5.  It's time for real violins! 
Both the Twinkle and Star classes are parent participation classes, and parents need to be present throughout the entire class plus  commit to daily home practice together with their child.  Parents do not have to have any musical knowledge or need their own instruments!  These classes are all about having fun with the violin while learning proper form & skills. Singing, rhythm games, and simple songs build skills and confidence!  
The Mozart Class   - a new beginning class for grades 1-3. 
Next session begins Fall 2021 -  Pre-enrollment available soon 
Beginning violin for grades 3-5.  No experience necessary! Students start the year on real violins, (as opposed to practice violins, like the Twinkle & Star Classes) and learn note reading from the very start! We play fun songs with online backing tracks while learning basic skills necessary for beautiful playing. Parent participation required for first 15 minutes of each class period and strongly encouraged throughout the entire class, especially for younger students. ​
  The Corelli Class a continuing class for young beginners. 
For students in their second & third year of violin or by teacher approval. Note reading, continuing violin skills through folk songs & fiddle tunes!  We will continue using Vamoosh Violin Book 1 along with Suzuki repertoire and fiddle tunes. Parents should be prepared to tune the violin before class and be nearby if needed during class. Students will need a music stand at home for this class.
