The outlook at AZviolinlessons.com is to help students develop skills on their own instruments according to their own specific needs. Private lessons are offered to meet those instrumental goals.  Stringed instruments are among the most beautiful instruments in the world to learn, and are played using various methods and techniques.  Once students have learned how to play stringed instruments and read music, they will be able to play anything their heart desires.

Miss Julie

My ultimate mission for AZ Violin Lessons is to facilitate knowledge, skills and a positive outlook for each student in a safe and caring environment.  Quality learning experiences are offered, combined with a solid foundation of musical skills that encourage the development to become lifelong learners.  Not every student has to become a concertmaster or solo violinist of a famous symphony orchestra. Students are exposed to music in a meaningful and purposeful way to help develop beautiful memories and experiences. Playing a stringed instrument can make significant differences in peoples lives.  As students, you will grow and learn in a joyful, fun, and rewarding environment through the magical inspiration of music.
