Why learn violin at Hindhead?
For over 50 years we've been guiding musicians young and old through the musical maze, and our violin
teachers bring real depth of experience across every stage, from a child's very first lesson through
to diploma level.
- Suzuki Method for young beginners – our Suzuki-trained specialist introduces young children to the violin through listening and repetition, building technique naturally from an early age.
- Orchestras and ensembles – string players can join our orchestras, learning the tricky art of ensemble playing while having a lot of fun at the same time.
- Theory classes, exam preparation – we can offer the auxiliary services to back up the practical lessons, including ABRSM and Trinity violin grades.
- Specialist teachers – our violin teachers cover everything from classical technique through to folk and beyond, whatever direction inspires you.
But most importantly, we all learn more easily and more happily when surrounded
by other like-minded people, in an atmosphere which combines enthusiasm and fun, while
always maintaining the highest standards possible.
More information
Tuition is normally one-to-one except where mentioned. Most pupils will have one half-hour lesson
a week, but we can also arrange one-hour and fortnightly lessons.
All teachers are DBS checked.
The school is normally open during termtime from 9am to 9pm Monday to Friday and 9am to 5.30pm on Saturdays,
so we can usually schedule a weekly lesson at a time to suit you or your child. If you have more than
one child learning, we may well be able to schedule lessons together so as to minimise travel.
Optionally we will prepare pupils for the Associated Board or Trinity music examinations. Our record
for ABRSM exams over the years is unsurpassed: very often a majority of our pupils are awarded
distinctions, and failures are unheard-of.
