Specialties
Aloha,
We specialize in violin and viola lessons for children 7 years old and up in Honolulu and Kailua. We do use the Suzuki and the traditional method of teaching. Our studios are located at the Musicians Association of Hawaii, 949 Kapiolani Blvd, (right across the Blaisdell Arena) and at the Le Jardin Academy, Kailua.
Our rates are reasonable and we are very much committed to teaching children violin in a fun and friendly environment. Our regular performances and recitals assure constant and gradual progress through out the year and is very much enjoyed by the children and their whole family.
We also accept adult violin students of all ages as well, beginners or advanced, and we will work with you towards what you want to accomplish with your violin. We want to encourage adults students to contact us and schedule a tryout lesson. Our connections with different music stores in town allows us to give you an instrument right at our first scheduled lesson. Music and everything else needed will also be covered by JMJ String Studio.
We hope to hear from ALL of you REALLY SOON and we look forward to get you or your child started playing the violin.
