We offer in-home and online viola lessons in the Washington DC area for all ages and levels with experienced and patient teachers. We are primarily focused on beginner violin lessons for children starting at age 5 and up. Our passionate teachers tailor their teaching to the student’s goals and interests.
Viola Lessons are taught incorporating a balanced combination of The Suzuki Method as well as other traditional teaching methods. The basic elements of the Suzuki Method are listening, motivation, proper technique, repetition and reinforcement. The underlying goal is to nurture a child not only in musical abilities but as a complete human being.
Our viola teachers focus on building a solid foundation using various technique books to help develop all aspects of mastering an instrument.
“Mr. Kim has a wonderful disposition. When we open the door for him he is always in a good mood that is contagious. There is something about him that just his presence makes us feel good. My son enjoys with lessons with Mr. Kim very much and I am just so happy to have found such a wonderful instructor for my son. Besides being a wonderful violin instructor, Mr. Kim is also teaching my son life lessons. He is such a good influence on kids.”

Before your first lesson, your teacher will be in touch to let you know if there are any specific method books or supplies that are required. Essentials like a pencil and notebook are great to have on hand to write down weekly assignments and notes for the student. After meeting with your teacher the first time, he/she may suggest additional books or supplies. If you need recommendations for a student violin, please click here.

Soulfege Music Studio provides students with opportunities to perform in recitals twice a year. Recitals are a terrific way for students to stay motivated, build confidence, master performance anxiety and show off their hard work. Teachers work with their students to choose repertoire and even help compose original pieces!
