What we teach

Violin, viola, cello, and piano.

KSA students learn through weekly private lessons, daily listening and practice, group classes, and performances. Suzuki principles guide each instrument program.

Violin Lessons

Violins come in fractional sizes, allowing young children to learn on an instrument that fits them properly.

Viola Lessons

Young students may begin directly on viola or move to it after starting violin. Either path can work well.
