Violin lessons overview
In my personalized tutoring approach for violin, I blend expressive musicality with a strong focus on technique, integrating performance coaching, theory, and sight reading seamlessly. Using a range of tech tools like DAWs, metronome apps, and virtual violin apps, I create interactive lessons that cater to students interested in Violin, Jazz Violin, Electric Violin, and more. Following diverse curricula like A-Levels, AP Program, and IB, I tailor lessons to suit the needs of school, college, and adult/professional students at all levels.

What began as a curious trial turned into a highlight of our week. Carlington ’s Violin classes for beginners in Boca Del Mar were a perfect fit for my 8 year old. Now she’s the one reminding me when it’s time for her classes.

As an adult beginner taking violin lessons with Carlington in East Village has been a fantastic experience. her calm and encouraging approach made it easy for me to start from scratch and now I feel comfortable reading beginner sheet music on my own.

I learnt how to develop bow control through tone studies from Carlington . I can now control dynamics better and play legato lines with more fluidity.

Carlington is great. These violin lessons strike the perfect balance between fun and structure. We laugh, we learn, and we play music I actually enjoy.

Playful repetition and creative bow and pizzicato games have really helped Carlington , in our Via Linda Corridor violin lessons, develop coordination she’s now confidently playing simple folk tunes and identifying note names.
