Group Classes

Group classes at Spruce & String offer a shared learning environment where musicians can build foundational skills, deepen understanding, and grow alongside others. These classes are designed to complement private study or serve as a gentle entry point into music-making, depending on the focus of the class.

Group classes may include:

  • Beginner violin classes introducing the instrument, posture, bowing, and basic musicianship

  • Music theory and foundational musicianship classes

  • Technique and fundamentals workshops

  • Practice strategy and habit-building sessions

  • Listening, score study, and discussion-based classes

Classes are intentionally paced and thoughtfully structured, allowing students time to absorb new concepts and develop confidence in a supportive group setting.

Beginner Violin Group Classes

Beginner violin group classes are designed for students who are new to the instrument and benefit from learning alongside peers. These classes provide a calm, structured introduction to violin playing, focusing on healthy setup, basic technique, listening skills, and musical awareness.

Beginner group classes emphasize:

  • Proper posture and instrument setup

  • Foundational bowing and left-hand coordination

  • Listening and rhythm skills

  • Musical confidence and comfort with the instrument

Group classes may serve as:

  • A first introduction before private lessons

  • A supportive supplement to individual instruction

  • A low-pressure way to explore the violin

What to Expect

Group classes are focused, supportive, and interactive. While individual feedback may be offered, the emphasis is on shared concepts and collective learning rather than individual technical refinement.

Participants can expect:

  • Clear instruction and guided demonstration

  • Opportunities to learn through listening and observation

  • Practical tools that support individual practice

  • A calm, respectful learning environment

Group classes are offered in person and online, depending on the topic and format.

Scheduling & Availability

Group classes are offered periodically throughout the year and may be organized as single workshops or short series. Class size is kept intentionally small to support meaningful participation and personal attention.

Upcoming classes and schedules will be shared through the studio calendar as they become available.

Group class details and fees are shared at the time of registration.
