Lessons

Instructor Joy Lee's student learning violin

Violin Lessons

Violin lessons focus on developing technique, rhythm, and musical expression through exercises that improve posture, bowing, and intonation. Known for its bright, expressive sound, the violin demands precision and coordination, supported by personalized instruction and encouragement to help each student progress confidently.

Viola Lessons

The viola, larger than the violin, produces a deeper, warmer sound with its lower pitch range. Lessons emphasize mastering the unique techniques of the instrument, including bowing, finger placement, and tone production. Whether at the beginner or advanced level, instruction focuses on building strong skills and fostering musical expression on the viola.
