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. With a small class size of less than 10, I ensure individual attention and customized guidance, fostering effective skill development and a comprehensive learning experience.

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.

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.
