Group Violin Lessons for Kids
Your little one will always have a story for you when you ask how group violin class went. We keep learning dynamic and relatable for their age. Playing the violin in groups builds spatial awareness. You’ll see what we mean when bows start a-flying!
Beginner Violin Class Information
Our young beginner violin students get to have fun and be social in groups, while building confidence and learning all the fundamentals of music and performance.
Students are finished group lessons either when they are playing and understanding at a Royal Conservatory of Music Violin Prep Level, or they are aged out of the program. After group violin lessons, students may start one-on-one violin lessons with our private instructors.
Your child will be sized for a violin upon starting. Contact the school to setup your ongoing lesson plan.

Student Materials for our Group Violin Lessons for Kids
All group lesson materials are provided and included. Students will start with a 3-ring binder or folder with lined paper, which will soon get stuffed with sheet music, printed lyrics, worksheets, drawing activities and colouring pages.
A suitable violin is provided in the room during the lesson, if needed. Instrument rentals and purchases are available. Students can bring their own instrument upon consultation with the school. It's highly recommended that students have their own violins to practice on and take care of outside of class.
Group Music Lesson Instructor
Our school director Michelle teaches groups, getting to know our younger students and guiding their musical journey with recommendations for their private lessons. Occasionally, guest artist friends get a very special invite to join, perform for, and teach the group.

She spent 7 years as artist-in-residence for the conseil scolaire catholique Providence where she taught the arts using hands-on, innovative methods, completing large collaborative visual art and music projects with kids in JK/SK, primary, intermediate and secondary classrooms. Her visual arts degree is from University of Windsor and she has received additional artist-educator training throughout her career from Jumblies Theatre (Toronto), Royal Conservatory of Music, and Multicultural Council of Windsor. Michelle has co-developed and co-delivered a bilingual professional development program for Ontario-based music and visual arts educators through the Ontario Arts Council.
