Hello, My name is Stefania Stefaniuk. I teach violin viola and piano to students of all ages from 5 to adulthood. I have taught, both in England and the United States for over 30 years. I have a Bachelors and Master's in Music and postgraduate certification in education from England. I believe that teaching a young student involves the student, the teacher and the parents/guardians in order to achieve successful results in mastering skills on the instrument. It is important for the student to master the basic technical skills necessary so that they are able to create and play music beautifully and become an accomplished musician and artist

Old-Time Fiddle Lessons With Paul Kirk

Kerry L. says, "When I had my first session with Paul, I struggled with the simplest of old time techniques. Even double stops stumped me. Paul's patience and thoughtful, well-planned instruction seemed tailored to my specific needs almost from the very beginning. He considers what the student player wants to achieve, identifies quickly their current skill level, and designs a plan of action that will elevate their playing ability week over week. Of course, you have to put in the practice! One of my favorite aspects of lessons with Paul is his knack for being able to explain concepts in multiple ways until I'm able to understand, imitate, and repeat the method or technique. To be honest, I'm only 2 months into my instruction with Paul, but I am super excited about my future as a fiddler under his tutelage. And I didn't even mention his extensive knowledge about the tunes! One would not be able to find an all-around better instructor for old-time Appalachian fiddling than Paul Kirk. " Read more

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.
