Private Lessons

Private violin lessons at Spruce & String are designed to support steady, thoughtful musical growth for beginning through late-intermediate students. Instruction is rooted in strong fundamentals while remaining responsive to each individual student’s needs, pace, and goals.

Lessons emphasize reliable technique, careful listening, musical understanding, and confidence. Skills are developed progressively, allowing sound, coordination, and musicianship to grow naturally over time.

Students are guided through clear instruction, consistent practice habits, and age-appropriate challenges. Music theory and basic compositional thinking are introduced as supportive tools, helping students understand not just what to play, but why the music works.

Private lessons are available in person and online, allowing flexibility while maintaining a high standard of instruction.

What to Expect

Each student begins with a brief conversation to understand musical background, goals, and scheduling needs. Lessons are then structured to support steady progress, with clear expectations and thoughtful pacing appropriate to beginning, advancing, and late-intermediate learners.

Students can expect:

  • Individualized instruction tailored to their level and learning style

  • Clear technical guidance and musical direction

  • Support in developing effective and sustainable practice habits
