Private Piano & Violin Lessons

Personalized lessons to make music fun!

At HeartStrings School of Music, we believe music lessons should be inspiring, stress-free, and fun! Our private piano and violin lessons are tailored to each student’s unique learning style—whether they’re just starting out or looking to grow their skills.

What makes our private lessons different?

  • Customized instruction—Lessons are built around your child’s learning style.

  • A fun-first approach—No pressure, no perfectionism—just joyful learning!

  • A supportive environment—Encouragement at every step of the journey.

  • Flexible scheduling—Busy family? We work with your schedule!

Whether your child dreams of playing their favorite songs, performing on stage, or simply exploring a new hobby, we’re here to make music a rewarding experience.

We focus on progress over perfection, creating a supportive, encouraging environment where students gain confidence, express themselves, and actually enjoy practicing.

What Students Will Learn

Each lesson is personalized based on the student’s experience level and musical goals, but here’s a general idea of what we cover:

Beginner Students

  • Introduction to the instrument—proper posture, hand positioning, and technique

  • Reading music—understanding notes, rhythm, and key signatures

  • Playing simple songs—building confidence from day one

  • Fun exercises—learning through movement, games, and creativity

Intermediate & Advanced Students

  • Expanding technique—more complex hand coordination and expressive playing

  • Music theory—chords, scales, ear training, and improvisation

  • Learning more advanced pieces—developing fluency and musicality

  • Performance preparation—confidence-building for recitals and personal enjoyment

Every student’s journey is unique, and that’s what makes private lessons so powerful!
