LESSONS

Natalia’s Violin Studio is conveniently located in downtown Carmel. Lessons are taught on a weekly predetermined schedule at 30/45/60 minute duration once or twice a week depending on the student’s level and needs. Additionally, the studio offers participation in studio recitals, competitions, scholarship auditions once the necessary skill level is achieved.

The studio aims to create a learning environment for musicians of any age, level, and ability to become independent learner. Cooperation rather than competition is the basis of building a supportive climate in the studio.

Private lessons in this studio are designed to help students grow and improve as solo musicians and should be treated as such. The solo work done in lesson will translate well and easily to other areas of musical study and upon request, special focus on particularly challenging orchestral excerpts, playing tests, audition preparation is always

available. However, the primary goal of the lessons is to help each student develop the skills necessary to perform solo repertoire, and to gain an understanding of and appreciation for music in general and the violin in particular.

Music teaches focus, organization, multi-tasking, poise, listening and communication skills, and challenges students to connect their physicality to their emotions. It’s strongly based in math and pattern recognition, along with expression, and gives students the opportunity to make, work towards, and meet goals both in public performance and individual study. In short, music lessons help students become more well-rounded while giving them an appreciation for the arts and a skill they can hold onto for the rest of their lives.
