Our Method

  1. 1. Assessment and goals — We learn your background, interests, and timeline.
  2. 2. Fundamentals first — Posture, left-hand shape, and bow efficiency.
  3. 3. Repertoire you love — Classical, film, folk, and more to keep you inspired.
  4. 4. Feedback loop — Weekly notes, video clips, and practice plans.
