Violin Styles We Teach


CLASSICAL & CONTEMPORARY

We cover all violin styles — from Baroque classics to folk, jazz, and everything in between. Your lessons are always shaped by the music you want to play. We also offer ensemble opportunities through our workshop program.

Classical Violin

Master the rich classical repertoire from Baroque through modern composers. Learn proper classical technique, interpretation, and performance practice. Perfect for students pursuing AMEB examinations, orchestral playing, or chamber music.

Contemporary Styles

Explore violin in folk, Celtic, bluegrass, jazz, rock, and contemporary settings. Learn improvisation, playing by ear, and how to adapt violin to modern musical contexts.

Ensemble Playing

Through our workshops, violin students learn to play with other instruments, developing the listening skills and blend needed for chamber music, orchestras, and contemporary ensembles.

Whether your goal is classical mastery or contemporary exploration, we provide the technical foundation to play any style.

PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITIES


From Practice to Performance


Learning violin naturally leads to sharing your music with others.
At Manhattan Music School, we provide performance opportunities throughout the year.
