Beginning Violin – a beginner level class, this is a perfect introduction to this beautiful instrument.  We are excited to offer Suzuki violin training in a group setting.  The class syllabus has been specially written to offer students quality training, encouraging them to strive for excellence in technique as they explore creatively the musical possibilities of this most expressive instrument.  Instructor Lilly Wang’s deep passion and love of the violin is contagious and we are quite blessed to have her joining our teaching staff.  This class is limited to 8 students, ages 9 and up.  Parents are also welcome to take the class along with their children.
