Yamaha Group Violin Classes – Children*

Yamaha's proven group teaching method provides a fun and inspirational environment for your child to learn the violin.

Group violin uses Yamaha's innovative teaching methods to develop the inner ear and provide listening, playing, reading and writing activities in a logical sequence, progressively deepening an understanding of musical concepts and the language of music.

In the Yamaha Violin Course, the emphasis is on musical sound and the development of musical sensitivity. Students are introduced to the beauty of sound, intonation but also music notation. In class and at home they will have the opportunity to hear live model performances and play along with accompaniments to help support their musical development.

Instrument supplied in class.

Please note that in 2010 Guitar, Drums and Violin classes will only be offered at the Yamaha Music School in Carnegie.
