About Violin Lessons at Taylor Violin Studio

At Taylor Violin Studio, I offer violin and viola lessons tailored to meet the needs and goals of each student, whether you’re a complete beginner or have some experience. My teaching approach focuses on building a solid foundation of technical skills while encouraging creativity and musical expression.

What to Expect in Your Lessons

  • Personalized Instruction: Each lesson is designed to match your unique learning style, goals, and interests. I use a mix of traditional methods and the Suzuki approach to ensure that you’re receiving a well-rounded education.

  • Fundamentals: We’ll focus on essential skills like proper posture, bowing techniques, and tone production, ensuring you build a strong technical foundation.

  • Musical Expression: Beyond technique, I encourage students to explore how they can express themselves through music, helping them develop their own voice as musicians.

  • Theory and Musicianship: Lessons also incorporate music theory, ear training, and sight-reading to deepen your understanding and enhance your overall musicianship.

Lesson Length and Rates

  • 30-minute lesson: $35

  • 45-minute lesson: $45

  • 60-minute lesson: $60

Lessons are held weekly at my home studio in the Fan District of Richmond, VA. If you are a new student, I recommend starting with a trial lesson to see if we’re a good fit.
