Violin Lesson Guide
- One of the biggest features of the violin is that it is easy to carry and can be played anywhere. We start with the smallest instrument, which is 1/16th size, for children as young as 2-3 years old, and begin with "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" variations.
- When you are able to play Gossec's "Gavotte," it will spark your motivation, and you will then aim to play Dvorak's "Humoresque" and Vivaldi's "Concerto." Along with the joy of being able to play various songs, it is also important to have the goal of creating a beautiful sound, referred to as the Suzuki tone. Mendelssohn's "Violin Concerto" in the advanced course is a piece that everyone admires.
- In addition to individual lessons, group lessons allow you to learn the enjoyment of playing with others from a young age, and acquire the fundamental skills of ensemble playing, which are essential when learning string instruments. During this process, reading sheet music will come naturally, and the power of perseverance and cooperation developed here will become great strengths in various fields.

Even after the piece has been completed, practicing it repeatedly will help improve the child's sound quality and abilities. Through cooperation, they can further refine their sound to make it even more beautiful.

Your family is the most dependable support for your child. Let's create a supportive environment by setting aside time for practice in daily life and developing the habit of listening to CDs, etc. Your child will change in an amazing way.

General Lesson Flow
1. An important first step
- Before starting "Twinkling Star Variations," the teacher prepares various curriculums, such as how to greet, how to hold the violin and bow, and the rhythm of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star." The time before the "Twinkle, Twinkle" lesson starts is important.
2. Repetition at home
- Just as a baby can begin to speak words they hear every day without noticing, repeating violin practice every day is also very important. By setting aside time to practice with your child and repeating the points your teacher has given you, you can accelerate their progress.
3. Group lessons are a chance to make a big leap forward
- Group lessons provide children with the fun of playing with others, while also offering parents the opportunity to gain valuable information. It will be a great opportunity for both parent and child to receive a significant boost.
4. Aiming for progress in each graduation stage
- Graduation recordings are done at the discretion of the teacher. The process of finishing a piece of music with the teacher is not easy, but the sense of relief when the recording is finished will lead to the confidence of having accomplished something, and will serve as a source of motivation for the next goal.
