I never thought I would learn violin at 62 but Kieran proved me wrong. We started with simple scales and now I am playing slow waltzes that bring me real joy every week in Sun City Grand.

I always believed that I was perfect in bow technique. until I met Kieran Murohy from Stone bridge who patiently taught me the basics technique of holding a bow. Highly recommended.

Kieran ’s lighthearted and calm approach made a big difference in my playing. I had trouble with bow grip before, but it’s now comfortable and instinctive.

Thanks to Kieran for his wonderful techniques as my teenage daughter got the firm foundation he was looking for. In just a violin lessons he was comfortably playing scales and easy duets.

I’ve always struggled with motivation when learning violin, but Kieran has completely changed that. They keep lessons interesting, and I leave every session excited to practice.

Before Kieran showed me techniques that made shifting feel normal, I used to be afraid of it. The increased sound quality is fantastic, and I can now perform in third place.
