ABOUT OUR STUDIO
The Studio Violin is located in Lafayette, CA in the East Bay area. The studio is comprised of 40 violin obsessed (really, we LOVE the violin) families of various backgrounds and musical experience. Together have weekly private and group lessons and we enjoy many studio events such as Play Ins, Pot Lucks, Parent Nights, and more! Our studio is a close knit group of families all speaking the common language of music and on the remarkable journey of learning to play together.
Our studio is active in the local Suzuki Association of Northern California chapter and we attend regional events every year with students from other studios. Studio violinists can often be found attending summer Suzuki Institutes throughout the country, and at our studio workshop in the spring season- with guest teachers, fun enrichment classes and more!

A foundational pillar of the Suzuki Method is group class. This is where the magic truly happens. Where young violinists learn to play together, to hear each other's voices through their violins, and to grow as a team. Group classes are held twice monthly and are split into age/playing levels. Group classes are part of our program and attendance is required of all studio violinists.
