Violin Lessons

The Eliason School of Music violin lessons program is designed to give students the very best musical education possible while helping them achieve their full potential. We do this by first and foremost by using a method we call the complete instruction method.

This unique and powerful method teaches Violinists how to play music purely by ear and it also teaches how to play music by reading sheet music. This approach leads to enriching and lasting musical experience.

We use the Suzuki method primarily to develop skill and confidence in playing by ear, and we also cover note reading, scales, theory, and sight-reading. When students learn with this dual approach, they are exposed to an expanded world of music because it gives them two ways to access and experience music.

Each of our violin teachers in Portland, Oregon, has taught for many years and has completed years of training at collegiate levels.

We teach lessons in a positive and encouraging way by helping students set goals and create weekly practice plans. Our violin instructors work tirelessly to create lessons that are balanced between fun and productivity to help students develop both musical skills and a belief in their abilities.

We welcome you to get to know our school and our teachers and we have a low-pressure process for getting started. As a potential student, you can try our lessons before you enroll, and you can stop lessons at any time.
