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! 

Geared toward the young beginner, students get to have fun and be social, while building confidence and learning all the fundamentals of music and performance! 

After group violin lessons, students may start one-on-one violin lessons with our private instructor.

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 violin is provided in the room during the lesson. 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.

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. 

Michelle 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.  

Pre-pandemic, Michelle co-developed and co-delivered a bilingual professional development program for Ontario-based music educators through the Ontario Arts Council.
