I am a senior citizen and I took violin lessons with Calloway and it's by far one of my best decisions. she is very patient and helped me learn the basics which indeed boosted my confidence. I am now able to read music and have started playing some simple folk tunes for my grandchildren. I am loving the experience and all thanks to Calloway !

My teenage daughter has been taking violin lessons with Tate in Arden Arcade, and the change has been amazing. Tate knows how to make lessons fun while still teaching the right way to play. he chooses music that keeps things interesting sometimes it’s classical , other times it’s cool songs from movies. Because of this, my daughter is excited to practice every day and really enjoys learning now.

The violin lessons with Denholm was for my teenage daughter. Denholm gives her students the freedom to choose the pieces they want for learn but still focusing on the techniques and strengthening them. My daughter is now able to compose small tunes all by herself and Denholm has genuinely helped her fall in love with music. Thank you Denholm for everything!

Taking violin lessons with Kelley in Tahoe Park has been a highlight for me. I’ve dreamed of learning classical violin, and Kelley has helped me improve fast by showing me how to hold the bow properly, stand the right way, and get a better sound. she makes tricky parts easier by teaching them step by step and always encourages me without making it feel too hard.

My goal was to surprise my partner with a duet and that's why I joined Adrian violin lessons in Midtown. Adrian broke down the concepts and taught me things by breaking it down into simpler steps and gave me daily practices to make sure I was in par with my goals. He encouraged me and kept his lessons fun which made my practice session with him engaging and fun as well.
Why Sacramento is a Unique City to Master the Violin

An Instrument of Civic Pride
Learning to play the violin in Sacramento is a fundamentally different experience. In California's capital city, music is more than an art form; it’s an expression of civic pride and cultural prestige. The journey of a violinist here is uniquely tied to the formal, ambitious, and community-minded spirit of the city itself. Aspiring to master the violin in this environment means joining a tradition of excellence that represents the capital on a statewide stage. For a dedicated player, this elevates the act of playing the instrument from a personal hobby to a respected public endeavour.
A Prestigious Pathway: Sacramento's Institutions for the Violinist

- The Professional Standard: The Sacramento Philharmonic & Opera sets the city's high bar for artistry. For any student of the violin, seeing these professional musicians perform at the magnificent SAFE Credit Union Performing Arts Center provides the ultimate inspiration and a clear, ambitious goal.
- The Youth Stage: Earning a chair in the acclaimed Sacramento Youth Symphony is a distinct civic honour. This is where the capital's most talented young violinists come together to learn the discipline and collaborative skill it takes to perform complex orchestral music on their string instrument.
- Higher Education: For the player seeking to continue their studies, the School of Music at California State University, Sacramento offers a top-tier education. As an institution at the heart of the state’s public university system, it provides a respected pathway for the serious violinist.
