Private Violin Lesson

Develop a deeper understanding of music through the study of notation, rhythm, scales, intervals, chords, harmony, form, and musical analysis. Music theory lessons are suitable for students of all levels and can be taken alongside violin lessons or as a separate course. A strong foundation in music theory helps students become more confident, independent, and expressive musicians while supporting success in performance and further musical study.

Specialized preparation is also available for ABRSM Theory Examinations, MTAC Theory Examinations, and AP Music Theory, with individualized guidance tailored to each student's level and goals.

Aural Training

Develop essential listening skills through personalized ear training designed to strengthen overall musicianship. Lessons include interval recognition, rhythm, melody and harmony dictation, sight singing, chord identification, tonal memory, and listening analysis. Aural training helps students improve pitch accuracy, musical sensitivity, and confidence in both performance and ensemble playing.

Specialized preparation is also available for ABRSM Aural Tests, MTAC Certificate of Merit Ear Training, and other audition or examination requirements.

Music Theory

A trial lesson is a great opportunity for new students to become familiar with the learning environment and teaching approach before enrolling in regular lessons. During the lesson, students will have the chance to play, ask questions, and discuss their musical interests and goals. For beginners, no prior experience is required. For students with previous training, the lesson includes an informal assessment to help determine the most appropriate learning plan and provide personalized recommendations for future study.
