Founded in 2011, the core of the Music con Brio violin program is a custom-designed teaching method devised by co-founders Carol Carlson and Amber Dolphin integrating elements of the Suzuki method, fiddle, folk songs, and traditional music lessons. Students learn violin technique, rhythm, and ear training hands-on from Day One. Whether they are stomping out rhythms, singing intervals, or practicing their bow grip with a pencil and paper towel tube, our violin teachers make sure a strong foundation is set for all our students to ensure future success on their musical journey. All students attend the program twice per week: once for a 45-minute group class and once for a 30-minute partner lesson.
