“I was somewhat worried about starting violin lessons at 36 years old, but thankfully I found Sage Music. I couldn’t imagine a better place to learn music than with Jason and his team. They take the time to make sure you understand the mechanics (mental and physical) in playing an instrument, and the pace of learning is set by the individual. Highly recommend Sage Music.” – Christopher T., Thumbtack Reviews
Our students have included cast members of Saturday Night Live, Broadway performers, and producers coming to work on their keyboard skills. We’ve even helped students prepare for graduate degree auditions.
We go above and beyond other programs by developing more advanced skills, practice habits, and learning techniques. You’ll learn more music, in a shorter amount of time, and with greater skill and security.
As an advancing violinist, we’ve got the skills to get your violin playing to the next level. We’ve worked with beginners and pros, so we know exactly how to get you from one level to the next.
Don’t want to play kids songs? No worry! We’ll work with you to help you play the music that you want. We personalize our lessons for you.
Sometimes we can jump right in with what you want, but other times it takes a little prep work. But we’ll always get you there.
In fact, most of our violin students are adult beginners. So you’ll find a welcoming environment with a team that knows how to work with folks just like you.
Most of our students come to us after they have tried lessons somewhere else. They tried video courses or lessons that weren’t personlized for them – YouTube, Suzuki, TakeLessons or a violin lessons app. They took lessons with teachers who were not trained professionals.
And they just didn’t see the results they wanted.
They didn’t get better or ended up frustrated. They paid for videos but still had to teach themselves. They took lessons with someone who showed them what to do, but not how to do it.
And that left them unhappy. Feeling like they wasted time and money. So they looked for a better program.
The good news is that you’ve just found the #1 science backed program, guaranteed to get you results. That’s the Arpeggio® lessons system, designed right here at Sage Music®.
Just like you, we want to see your kid have fun, enjoy music, and grow into a capable, successful adult. And we also know you want a program you can trust because you are busy with so many things.
That’s what we’ve designed our Arpeggio® lesson system to do. Systems such as Suzuki, ABRSM, the Royal Conservatory simply provide a sequence of songs to play. But our system is designed to develop your child’s skills, enabling them to play any music they want. That’s real growth, and real learning.
In addition, our system provides you with detailed notes every week so you can stay in touch with your child’s development. Plus your child will have the opportunity to perform every week in our student sharing hour, in our open mics, or in our regular recitals. This gives you results that you and your child can see.
Plus, your child can meet other students at Sage Music and practice or play music in our Music Match and Sharing Hour programs. Peer learning is an effective way for your child to grow, plus stay engaged while learning violin from home.
Music Match provides for a more focused one-one-one experience, while the Sharing Hour is about social learning experiences.
There is a big difference between teaching a 6 year old and a toddler. And a big difference between teaching a 3 year old and a 4 year old.
That’s why we’ve got trained teachers, and teachers who specialize in early childhood music education.
Our violin teachers know how to keep you child engaged, focused, and learning. All in part of a program designed for their age and level of development. They will learn and grow at the violin, while having fun.
“I am taking violin lessons here after putting the instrument down 30 years ago. Having worked with two instructors I found both were equally responsive to my learning style, and have provided individualized feedback / instruction which happens to generate great momentum for practice in between lessons. Very pragmatic manner of instruction, gives me a sense of mastery over technique which really propels my desire to study and practice. Highly recommend.”

While they are similar, the types of violin are all slightly different to play and are used for different music. If you need help choosing the right kind of violin for your lessons, let us know. We’ll be happy to help.
While many violin schools promote classical music, we focus on your goals. Popular music is great because it speaks to our time. Not some othere time in some other place.
We are happy to work with you on the music that you want to learn.
If you want to play the music of today, you’ll learn a solid violin technique just like our classical students. But we’ll apply your violin skills to the music that you want to play.
Many of our students are interested in learning the music of the past masters of the violin like Brahms, Chopin, Liszt, Beethoven and Mozart. This music requires a high level of focus, precision, and skill. Our faculty, with master’s degrees in violin performance, have performed this music all over the world and gained the experience necessary to help you develop the skills you need to making meaningful and masterful performances of this great repertoire. Many of our students learn this music for fun, while others are preparing for Master’s Degree, College, or competitions like NYSSMA. Whatever your goals, we are happy to help you flourish as a classical violinist.

Our goal is to give you the skills to play any music that you want. So in addition to the types of violin, you can try many different styles. We won’t hold you to a particular style, so you get to be you! Let us know what styles of violin you want to play!
