What Makes Four Strings Different?

Picture

Teachers with Little Experience:

Many music studios hire teachers who don’t even play the instrument they’re teaching.

Experienced Instructors:

Our teachers have earned music degrees and have experience playing their instrument for 10 years or more. They currently perform in a professional setting throughout the metro Atlanta area.

One Teaching Method:

Many music studios teach in the Suzuki method or a traditional method. It’s not always true that every student learns well with just one method. 

Multiple Methods:

At Four Strings Music Studio, we believe everyone learns in a different way at a different pace. Our teachers have studied multiple education methods, including, Suzuki, Dalcroze, Galamian, & Kodaly. Our teachers use a mix of teaching styles to better suit the individual student.

Multiple Instruments:

Many music studios offer multiple instrument families (strings, brass, woodwinds) to make a bigger profit.

Dedicated to String Teaching:

Four Strings Music Studio is dedicated to the string instruments Violin, Viola, and Cello – all with four strings! This creates a more focused environment and community for string players.

No Ensemble Experience:

Many music studios only provide students with their private lessons. Vital ensemble skills are then never taught.

Group Lessons & Chamber Music:

At Four Strings Music Studio, we stress the importance of ensemble playing. Students are given the opportunity every month to participate in group classes and small chamber ensembles with other Four Strings students. Group classes focus on ensemble skills, aural skills, and music theory.
