2025-26 School Year

Whether you're a returning student, or new to violin, we'd love to have you for the 2025-2026 school year! In all of our lessons, we focus on healthy violin posture, note-reading, and fostering a love through music through exercises, performance repertoire, and music games. All students have multiple performance opportunities, including a winter and spring recital, and VCFMC's annual Ensemble Festival.
