A powerful music education must focus on skill building. Genius potential though a child may have, very little release will occur without a strong possession of skills. We place a strong emphasis of sight-reading, technique, theory and musicianship. Instructors guide students through a series of benchmarks, specifically articulated for each level of study.

We offer violin and piano lessons to students of all ages. We understand that as a parent you have a choice between several studios and that not all programs are the same. We use a unique combination approach to learning that we call complete instruction.
