VIOLIN

Violin Lessons in Clementi

Patient, technically rigorous violin teaching for children and adult beginners.

WHY CEPHAS

Tone, Technique and a Trained Ear

Violin rewards careful teaching. At Cephas, lessons are shaped by Dr. Andjelita Chendra, trained at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, whose students praise her sharp ear for pitch and her patience with beginners.

  • Piano accompaniment in lessons, so students hear how a piece is meant to sound
  • Close attention to posture, bow hold and intonation from day one
  • Experienced teachers in continual professional training
  • Regular chances to perform at our Annual Concert

THE LESSONS

What Violin Lessons Cover

  • Set-up and posture: a comfortable, sustainable way to hold the violin and bow
  • Tone production: a clear, singing sound
  • Intonation: training the ear to play in tune
  • Reading and rhythm: confident reading at every level
  • Repertoire and ensemble: solo pieces, duets with piano and ensemble playing

NEVER TOO LATE

Adult Beginners Welcome

Many of our violin students started as adults. One began at 32 and has since performed at our Annual Concert.

Lessons move at your pace, with clear goals and a teacher who understands how adults learn.
