Take lessons that celebrate your unique pace and style whether you’re brand new or returning to violin after years away.

Thompson ’s classes in St. George gave me confidence with every step I took. Her supportive approach and strong technical guidance created a wonderful space for learning and growth.

In Tarrytown, I began learning guitar with Thompson , whose emphasis on finger placement and strumming techniques laid the groundwork for my development as a player.

Learning violin from Thompson who is based in Forest Park, has been an incredible experience for my daughter who has never even held any instrument before. Thompson expertly guided her along from being a beginner to now being able to play in full confidence. She teaches her in a very fun way adding little games in between to learn rhythm and pitch and just by the third lesson my daughter was able to play basic tunes with good control over the bow. I'm super happy that I chose Thompson !

My son used to play so quietly like she didn’t wanna be heard but ever since Thompson started taking violin lessons for her, she’s become so confident and that's the best part!

I enrolled with Thompson Donavan's Violin lessons at Yacht club and she has been so patient with me. she knows how to lead by examples

her proficiency in technical coaching is outstanding. We've dedicated our time to achieving smooth transitions between strings and eliminating unwanted noises during position changes. To aid in timing, she creatively utilizes gamified techniques, including rhythmic dice and applications that provide a steady beat. Thompson sense of humor and methodical teaching style ensure lessons are both entertaining and successful.

Moving to third position felt daunting as a high schooler in Red Mountain Ranch but with Thompson ’s patient guidance and targeted exercises in the lessons we had for violin, I gained the confidence and skill to secure first chair in my school orchestra.
