Adult violin lessons in Temecula

Starting at forty, sixty, or seventy is not too late. Some of my most rewarding students are adults who never played, and adults who put the violin down decades ago and picked it back up.

How it goes

Taught at your pace, on your terms

Adult students learn differently from children. You want to understand why a thing works, you have limited practice time, and you would rather play music you actually like. Lessons are built around that.

Each lesson is tailored to the unique needs and goals of the student. You are welcome at the studio recitals, and equally welcome to skip them and simply play for your own pleasure.

No prior experience or music reading neededTheory taught alongside playing, so it makes senseRecitals encouraged, never requiredTry a single lesson first — $38 for a half-hour

In their words

Two adult students, in their own words

I am an adult student and I have to say Paul is amazing! I took lessons before COVID and in 6 months I was not even using the bow. I was with Paul and within 2 lessons I was not only on the bow but moving up and down the strings. Now 3 weeks into the lesson I am playing Mary Had a Little Lamb. Sounds basic, but HUGE for me

I could not be more excited with how far I have gotten in the past 2+ years. I played violin as a kid but stopped after middle school. Picked it back up 44 years later and am having a lot of fun. It is hard to do, but Paul’s teaching method helps things gel quickly.
