My 5 year old daughter couldn’t wait to start violin lessons. It was only after finding City Strings and Piano that we were able to find a teacher that was not only a masterful instructor, but also knowledgable about various teaching approaches, and flexible and responsive to my daughter’s specific learning style. She got to participate in a wonderful recital experience. I highly recommend City Strings!

Our teacher is patient, gentle and very encouraging! A nice bonus is that we are able to rent a violin from them, instead of having to invest in one that she may outgrow in the future

When you enroll for lessons with us, we prioritize finding a consistent schedule that suits both you and your teacher. A dependable lesson time significantly boosts your child's progress in their musical endeavors. Similarly, we advocate for regular practice at the same time each day, as our most rapid learners tend to practice for shorter periods, yet consistently, nearly every day.
