method&vision
At Arco we believe that every child can learn to play the violin,
when it's taught with love and dedication.
Parents and caretakers are encouraged to participate in the child's musical development, by attending lessons and/or being the child's practice buddy.
A big part of our repertoire follows the Suzuki method, topped up with a variety of others violin methods, as not one method suits all!
Learning in a group is not only more fun than learning one to one,
it also has a range of other benefits. From learning ensemble skills to positive communication.
Group learning helps children to strive for their full musical potential,
by encouraging others and being inspired by one another.
