Violin lessons
Every wanted to play the violin? Want to give your child a chance at a lifelong passion? Sylvia is our talented violinist with over 25 years of teaching experience and has previously lead the Auckland Concert Orchestra! When I asked Sylvia why people should play the violin, she responded: “It’s such an incredible instrument. The range of tone and expression, like no other. Violin playing is a physical art with great traditions behind it”
Sylvia is available at our Henderson centre, Wednesdays and Thursdays after school. Please follow the link to our website if you wish to inquire.
