Violin lessons in Kernersville, at the heart of the Triad
We are Suzuki violin and viola teachers for children, teens, and adults across the Piedmont Triad, and first-time beginners are welcome. Our studio in Kernersville welcomes students of every age, and virtual lessons are available upon request for families a little farther out. We believe everyone has the ability to be talented in music.
Our mission
We are committed to an enriching, supportive environment where students of all ages can grow their love for music. The Suzuki method guides everything we do, from a child’s very first note to a confident performance.
Our programs
Individual Suzuki violin lessons for ages three and up, from a first Pre-Twinkle bow hold all the way to major concertos.
Love the deeper voice of the viola? Your student learns Suzuki viola with Dr. Eric Eakes, who holds a doctorate in viola performance.
Joyful group learning that builds ensemble skills and a real sense of community alongside individual lessons.
