Children at the age of 5 or 6 are encouraged to start learning the violin. This is to give them an early start and build a strong foundation. However, it is never too late to start taking suzuki violin lessons.

Why we use the Suzuki violin method

The concept of the suzuki violin method is ‘character first, ability second’. From a young age, we teach students the basics of the violin (e.g holding the violin at the correct position). This is to build their foundation in music. They will have a head start over others by being able to learn new music pieces faster.

Learning in a right environment is crucial for proper learning. We encourage student to learn comfortably. Thus, we provide private violin lessons where you can learn in the comfort in your home. Alternatively, you could have violin lessons at our violin teachers’ home too. Most importantly, learning should be done where one is happy and relaxed.

Learning the violin using the suzuki violin method is fun and easy. We encourage students to learn in groups and share ideas together. When making mistakes, students can help correct each others’ mistakes and give helpful tips. Hence we use the suzuki violin method, to give students a great musical experience!
