If you're a Briar Hill resident wanting quality violin lessons, Manhattan Music School is the right choice. We've been nurturing violinists across Melbourne's north for over 20 years, and here's what makes us different.

Image

Qualified Violin Teachers

Our violin teachers are AMEB, Rockschool, and ANZCA accredited with extensive experience teaching string instruments. They know how to build correct technique from the ground up — posture, bow hold, tone, and pitch.

Image

Individual Instruction

Each lesson is a dedicated one-on-one session, giving you the individual focus that violin demands. Your teacher can spot and correct technique issues in real time.

Image

Strong Foundations

We focus on proper technique, posture, and musicianship from day one. Correct technique early on creates a platform for everything that follows and creates confident, capable violinists who can play any style.

Performance Ready

Through our live performance program and yearly Rock Show, violin students gain the chance to share their music with a live audience and learn to perform as part of an ensemble. It's where your playing truly comes alive.

Violin Styles We Teach

CLASSICAL & CONTEMPORARY

We cover all violin styles — from Baroque classics to folk, jazz, and everything in between. Whatever style speaks to you, we'll help you develop the skills to play it well. 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.
