I offer a rich grounding in the technique and repertoire of the violin, with significant integration of music history, theory, and cultural history as appropriate to the student's age, interests, and needs. My teaching is individualized and empathetic, but every student received a strong and thorough technical setup. Music needs new musicians to live and breathe. I love both preserving and growing the art of music, and expanding my students' horizons while helping them learn analytic skills, self-discipline, and self-expression....

Danee D. says, "Cedrick is an amazing teacher! Couldn’t recommend him enough. Cedrick is a well balanced teacher bringing fun positive energy and also constructive instruction. He has a perfect mix of fun/serious when teaching. My 10yo son always looks forward to lessons and has been self motivated to practice. He has improved so much since working with Cedrick and has had opportunities to start performing in school orchestra etc as a result. Cedrick does a phenomenal job of preparing him for concerts and performances from lessons to emotional support and being there to cheer him on! Highly recommend working with Cedrick!" Read more

David H. says, "Laura & her very talented staff are AMAZING! Not only are the lessons fun, but my kids absolutely adore practicing due to the academy's practice help which taught them how to practice and have fun while doing it. (That alone was well worth the cost of lessons!) Practicing is one thing my kids hated doing before when they had different teachers. I was so impressed by their curriculum that even I started taking music lessons! Now my whole family can jam together like the Jackson 5 & we have so much fun. I HIGHLY RECOMEND SIGNING UP WITH MONMOUTH & MIDDLESEX COUNTY MUSIC ACADEMY!! Do your family the favor & start lessons with them TODAY! YOUR KIDS & SPOUCE WILL THANK YOU! P.S. you WILL NOT find better QUALITY MUSIC LESSONS ANYWHERE ELSE FOR THEIR PRICE!!!" Read more

Your Violin Lessons questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.

How much do violin lessons cost near me?

Violin lessons cost $30 to $80 per session for classes starting at 30 minutes long or up to 60 minutes long. A private violin teacher costs $50 to $80 for an hour. A group lesson costs $20 to $30 each time.

You can expect to pay $190 to $360 every month when pre-booking violin lessons.

Are violin lessons worth it?

Violin lessons are worth it if you aspire to enhance your skills rapidly and perform for audiences. Expert tutelage in the violin can aid in cultivating appropriate techniques and tackling challenges efficiently, thus accelerating progress.

Learning violin without private feedback is extremely difficult and takes much longer.

How many violin lessons do I need?

You need as many violin lessons as it takes to reach your personal goals, depending on how good you are now, how much you practice, and how qualified your teacher is. Most folks need to take violin classes regularly for many months before they can play a basic song or read music.

Generally, it takes about 3 to 6 years to start playing many different songs quite well. If you want to play like a professional, it often takes more than 10 years of ongoing practice and tutoring.

How long are violin lessons?

Violin lessons are 30 minutes long for beginners and up to 60 minutes long on average. Extended lessons are only for advanced students, will cost extra, and are subject to the teacher's availability.

What age is best to start violin lessons?

The best age to start violin lessons is between 4 to 7 years old at the earliest, or whenever you have a strong enough focus on learning and can hold the instrument comfortably. Children need to exhibit sufficient physical coordination and concentration before they can start violin lessons.

However, adults are capable of learning and deriving pleasure from playing the violin, irrespective of their age.

How do I find a violin teacher near me?

You can find a violin teacher nearby very quickly by browsing the listings here on the Lessons website. Alternatively, you can ask for affiliated private teachers at local music stores.

  • Before hiring a violin teacher in your area, always remember to:
  • Compare the prices of at least 3 violin instructors.
  • Read what others have said about the teachers on Lessons and Google.
  • Ask them which of their past students you can talk to for a reference.
  • Get a written agreement and a lesson plan before the first lesson.
  • Follow a plan to pay a little at a time until you feel sure the teacher is right for you.

What questions do I ask a violin teacher before hiring?

Here are some questions to help you find the best violin teacher:

  • How many years have you been teaching the violin?
  • What age group of students do you prefer teaching?
  • How many degrees in music do you have, and do you play professionally?
  • Can I try out a lesson for free or with a discount to see if it works for me?
  • Do you have violin rentals at your school if I don't have one at home?
  • How much do I need to practice to reach my goals?
  • What books or sheet music should I buy?
  • Can you change how you teach to help students with special needs?
  • What kind of violin music are you best at teaching?
  • Should I expect homework to memorize?
  • What should I bring, and how long does each class last?
  • Can I get a copy of our class schedule, agreement, and how to pay?
  • What happens if I need to cancel a class due to an emergency?
  • Can I pick some of my favorite songs to learn?

Reviews for Paterson violin lessons

Recent success stories from people in the Paterson area.
Samantha H.
I've worked with Mr Leshowitz since middle school. Even though I'm now at college I can truly say that he has had a huge impact on my musical growth. Through him I was able to successfully audition and thrive in the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra (NJSO). He's very meticulous in his students' technique, articulation, tempo, and truly cares for their success. I highly recommend him for anyone who is looking for a teacher that will stay with the student for many years and is willing to put in the hours at home to reap the benefits of a high quality performer.

Very good teaching. I am an experienced pianist learning violin, and Cedrick definitely knows how to teach classical violin. His teaching is very supportive and thorough in covering violin fundamental techniques and results in a lot of progress.
