Instrument Rentals

Starting music lessons can be a considerable investment both financially and mentally. If you’re uncertain about you or your child’s level of dedication and interest in playing violin/viola, temporarily renting one is a smart option and is the recommended path for beginners. It gives students a chance to try out the instrument with extra flexibility.

Taking lessons with Ashot has the added convenience of entry-level instruments available for month-to-month rental at a very affordable price. The package includes a case, a bow, rosin, and some spare strings. It’s a quick, easy and effective way to get started.

SOLID MUSIC THEORY BASE

Music theory is the fundamental backbone behind the process of learning to play any instrument and is included in private lessons. Students will boost their performance skills and have a better understanding of musical terminology, pitch, harmony, melody, rhythm, sight-reading, ear-training and more. A solid theory base is beneficial and makes learning music easier, more recognizable and more enjoyable.

CONVENIENCE + FLEXIBILITY

Accommodate your busy schedule with a wide range of lesson times available 5 days a week, including evenings! Monthly private lessons can be booked in durations of 30 mins, 45 mins and 60 mins in the comfort of your home, Ashot’s home studio or online (intermediate-advanced levels only). The duration of the lesson will be based on the child’s age and skill level.

PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITIES

Recitals are held at least once a year, providing students a motivational platform to showcase their progress and performance skills in front of an informal audience. Accomplished and eligible students will also have the opportunity to connect with a local youth orchestra, as well as performances and projects within the classical music community.

Intermediate-Advanced Levels

Do you have an audition or competition to prepare for? Perhaps you’re trying to get accepted into an accredited school or youth orchestra. Achieve your musical goals by developing your performance skills and taking your musicianship to the next level. Ashot’s extensive experience inspires him to pass his firsthand knowledge to his students, allowing them to reach their highest creative and technical potential and eventually master their instrument.

Violin Lessons for Adults

Many adults dream of playing the violin but haven’t actually had the chance to start. Learning the violin can seem like an intimidating task but it’s not as hard as people think. At a grown age, there’s more of an intellectual capacity for grasping new concepts such as music theory—this gives adults a base for learning more. The most important aspect of learning to play an instrument is genuine interest and commitment. Anyone can learn the violin with the right approach and the right mentor.

Learning to play the violin will be the most rewarding and fulfilling adventure for anyone searching for a new challenge or simply wanting to experience the joys of creating music. It’s also a nice break from daily routines and responsibilities. It’s truly never too late to try something new.
