Violin Lessons
Violin lessons are offered to students of all ages and our teachers make learning the violin fun! Core principles are emphasized through the best violin curriculum in Gwinnett at Lawrenceville-Suwanee School of Music, starting with the fundamentals - learning the parts of the instrument, proper finger placement, and bow hold. Our violin teachers instruct students in a variety of styles from classical violin lessons to pop music. Our teachers will show you how to read, give solid technique, and theory, while incorporating songs you want to learn into the process. For young beginner violin students, it is better to take piano lessons first and learn how to read music before you learn to play the violin. It is easier to learn how to play violin if you already know how to read music. If this suggestion does not fit your needs, we recommend a $25 trial lesson evaluation. This is a way we can assess the skill of the student, set them up to have an awesome musical experience, and progress as quickly as possible. More experienced students progress by mastering significant repertoire and developing advanced technique, such as harmonics. We were awarded Best of 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 music lessons … “violin” at the Lawrenceville-Suwanee School of Music!
About the Violin
The violin is the soprano voice in the string family. It is held under the chin, resting on the shoulder. The violin has a lovely tone that can be soft and expressive or exciting and brilliant. The violin has fascinated both makers and players for more than four centuries. History acknowledges Andrea Amati from Cremona, Italy (c. 1500-1577) as the first violin maker. Amati’s workmanship set the standard in violin making for future generations. Three generations in the Amati family followed him in this trade. Noble families and royal courts during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries commissioned the making of these instruments. Thus the occupation, craft, and art of violin making were born. There were many great Cremonese makers, including the famous Stradivari, whose violins are regarded as amongst the finest bowed stringed instruments ever created. Famous violinists such as Itzhak Perlman, Joshua Bell and Hilary Hahn reflect the range of the violin with its colorful tones from clear and bright to rich and powerful.
