Students interested in learning to play violin or viola can start as young as 5 years old. While many students begin their instrument at a young age, there are many who do not begin until they are an adult as well! So whether you are 5, 85, or some age in between, now can be your time to learn to play an instrument! Melissa uses a variety of methods in her teaching including more traditional methods where students begin to read music immediately as well as incorporating the Suzuki method which focuses more on developing a student's aural skills. Lessons are tailored to the student's musical interests as well as to the student's learning style.
