MUSIC LESSONS

Strings

The British Columbia Conservatory of Music offers instruction in a range of string instruments, including violin, viola, and cello. Students may choose between traditional music-reading methods—which emphasize note reading, music theory, and technical development—or the Suzuki approach, which focuses on learning by ear, parent involvement, and early immersion, much like acquiring a first language. With two excellent approaches available, teachers can draw on elements from both methods and adapt them to suit each student’s individual learning style at the lesson.
