It takes a village to play the violin.

Hello!

I’m Amber Sarno of Sarno Strings, and I teach beginner violin. My teaching approach mainly utilizes the Suzuki method, based on the concept that “every child can learn.” Having gone through the Suzuki method as a child myself, I am convinced that this method’s emphasis on character development, parental involvement, and musical pieces containing the building blocks of good technique, set up the child for a successful experience when learning one of the most complex instruments in the world.

What You Can Expect

We will work on training the student’s ear, which includes many hours of listening to music from the Suzuki Method.

Parental involvement is a big part of the process, from being taught how to hold the violin to reading music.

Learning new pieces and technical skills will be refined and strengthened through repetition and review even after pieces have reached performance level.

Sincere encouragement for the steps your child takes on this journey, whether big or small, is crucial to their progress.
