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.
