Violin & Viola

The violin and viola are among the most expressive instruments in all of music — and among the most rewarding to learn well. We teach both with the patience they ask for, building posture, bowing, and intonation properly from the very first lesson.

From a young beginner’s first notes to an adult’s long-held ambition to a student’s grade exams, you’ll develop the technique and the ear that string playing depends on. (The violin and viola are two of our founder’s own instruments.)

What you’ll learn

  • Posture and bowing — a relaxed, healthy technique from the very start
  • Intonation — a reliable sense of pitch, trained patiently
  • Reading music and sight-reading — confidence with the score on your own
  • Shifting, vibrato, and tone — the expressive technique that comes with progress
  • Repertoire and ensemble — classical pieces and playing alongside others
  • Exam preparation — for ABRSM or Trinity College London grade exams, if and when you choose to take them

Group and individual classes

Choose the format that suits you:

  • Individual lessons — one-to-one attention, the fastest and most personal route, with everything built around you
  • Group classes — a more social, affordable way to begin, learning alongside others at a similar level

Both are available at our two Bangalore centres and online.

Who it’s for

Young beginners, adults taking up a lifelong ambition, and serious exam candidates alike. The violin and viola reward patience, and we teach them one student at a time — meeting you exactly where you are.
