Cunningham Music School provides violin, viola, and cello lessons for all ages using traditional and Suzuki methods. Our program includes regular performances and recitals, catering to beginners, returnees, and advanced players. Experienced instructors ensure personalized learning for every student.
Our string lessons program provides second-to-none instruction in violin, viola, and cello: our beginning lessons combine elements of traditional and Suzuki instruction, and we encourage all of our students to take part in the regular performances and recitals that Cunningham offers.
Adult students are also welcome in our strings studio, whether you are looking to begin a new instrument or you are returning to lessons after previous instruction. Our experienced string faculty is equipped to prepare the student for anything–whether it be the basics in a beginning lesson or more advanced instruction for the experienced player, Cunningham Music School has a place for you.
Our comprehensive string program focuses on developing proper technique, intonation, and musical expression. Students learn to read music, understand rhythm, and develop listening skills through carefully structured lessons that progress at each student's individual pace.
We believe in the importance of performance experience, which is why we offer regular recitals and ensemble opportunities. These performances help students build confidence, share their musical growth with family and friends, and experience the joy of making music with others.
Whether you're interested in classical repertoire, folk music, or contemporary styles, our string teachers have the expertise to guide you on your musical journey. We work with students of all ages and skill levels, from young beginners to advanced adult players.
