The modern violin we know today actually originates from instruments brought to Europe via the middle east thousands of years ago. Since that time the voice of the violin has become a hallmark of the orchestral sound, and is also found in jazz, pop, and country music. Today there are even electric violins as the instrument continues to evolve. The violin seems to have a sound quality similar to the human voice, which could be one reason the instrument has remained viable for so long, and why it is studied by so many students.
No unreasonable commitments
Violin students take lessons for various reasons. For some people, lessons are a chance to explore the violin for the first time, while for others instruction needed to brush up on old material or to prepare for an audition. Depending on their needs, students are free to stop or start their lessons at any time. Encore Music Lessons won't ask you to commit to taking a certain number of lessons.
Do you aspire to learn more about the violin? Playing the violin can be a rewarding experience, but there's much to know, so it's important to find an experienced teacher to help you advance to the next level as well as avoid common pitfalls.
Where can I take violin lessons?
As with scheduling, students have different needs, so lessons can be given in your home or at a teacher's studio nearby depending on what's best for you.
Subjects your teacher can go over include holding the bow properly, producing a good sound, playing in tune, proper left hand position, reading music, and learning pieces. Of course there's much more material to cover, especially if you're an intermediate or advanced player. Your teacher can figure a teaching plan based on your needs as a student.
Whatever your current stage of development, with Encore Music Lessons your sure to get in touch with the right violin instructor. If you'd like to find out more about violin lessons and how we work, please call us at 212-537-6746 or 800-417-4620.

Student Reviews
I'm an adult student that's been studying w/ Nick, once a week for the past 8 months. If you're new to Piano or have a passion in music of ANY genre, trust me, definitely consider him. Not only does he have a great amount of patience for crazy off-key students like me, but regardless of my random struggles, he had the ability to identify the source of the issue and provide a solution. A MacGyver of piano teachers. He constantly challenges me - I'm the type of person who tends to decline in what I am or am not interested in doing or willing to do. But I've always left satisfied, patient and hopeful that my music career will be successful one day. With Nick it's not just about learning piano and songs, but the core root of music in general-- theory and composition that I badly need as an artist. I definitely look forward to continuing my studies with Nick.
Sandira Blas Teacher: Nick M.About the Violin
A violin typically consists of a spruce top (the soundboard, also known as the top plate, table, or belly), maple ribs and back, two endblocks, a neck, a bridge, a soundpost, four strings, and various fittings, optionally including a chinrest, which may attach directly over, or to the left of, the tailpiece.
