Fall Violin Concert

Come visit us at Blossom Market Hall in San Gabriel, CA on Sunday, October 20th at 5:30PM to hear our Group Class in action! This is a great opportunity to see what students just beginning their violin journey are able to play, as well as what they can accomplish after a few years of study.

What makes our violin program unique?

  • All students have one private lesson per week. Students are expected regular weekly lessons during the calendar year, with typical school breaks observed. Students under 12 and beginners must have the same parent attend to help with daily practice at home.

  • All students attend group lesson in addition to private lessons–it’s one of the many unique aspects of Suzuki Method. Group lesson reinforces what is being learned in lessons, builds studio community, and it’s simply fun to make music together! Group lessons have 20 meetings during the school year.

  • Developing bravery is one of the most important aspects of being a performer. Students get many opportunities to perform, from studio recitals to community performances.

  • Suzuki lessons are special because of the cornerstones of the philosophy. An early start, parent involvement, learning by ear, group class, and loving encouragement make this method unique and successful.

    Miss. Morgan is an SAA registered Suzuki teacher with comprehensive training and over a decade of experience.

See us in action!

See what our violin program is all about at a recent group performance at the South Pasadena Farmers' Market! Our program is young–about 3 years for the most advanced students. We are performing selections from Suzuki Method Violin Volume 1.

“What separates a good teacher from a great one is that the great ones take a true interest in their students. Morgan is a GREAT teacher who is genuinely interested in her students.”
