Lessons at Davidson
In- person and online Lessons now available, click here!
Davidson Violins offers lessons in violin, viola, cello and bass. Students of all ages are invited into a rigorous, gracious atmosphere of collaborative music making that includes recitals and master classes in addition to one-to-one instruction.
Our instructors are professional musicians with college degrees in their specialty area. Our instructors manage their own schedules and represent in every lesson our core belief that each student can make music; some will be highly proficient, but all will learn the fundamentals and most importantly, gain a true appreciation for the art of playing a bowed instrument.
Students also experience the exciting and unique world of our active violin shop where they might hear a professional cellist trying instruments in the showroom or peek into the workshop to see how we fix basses.
Lessons are offered throughout the week including Saturdays. We accept students as young as 3 years old, subject to teacher approval, and as old as 99. Rates are as follows:
Beginner and intermediate players: $35 for 30 minute lessons each week
Intermediate and advanced players: $50 for 45 minute weekly lessons or $65 for 60 minute weekly lessons
We do not recommend cheap internet purchased instruments for lessons. Students need adequate learning tools. If needed, rental or purchase instruments are available through our shop.
Please note: bowed instruments require substantial time and home practice to master. Beginning players will need at least 3 months of weekly lessons and daily home practice to establish basic skills. Young students should have a parent or guardian present in the lesson (at the teacher's discretion) to see what will need reinforcement at home.
