The Young Artist’s Violin Studio is an online academic-year program for advanced and advancing violinists ages 12-22.
Within the framework of a rigorous and supportive studio environment, young artists have access to weekly private lessons and thoughtfully curated weekly group classes.
Private lessons are tailored to support the individual goals of each young artist.
The group class curriculum includes guest artist masterclasses with leading performers and pedagogues from around the world, technique classes, and enrichment seminars designed to support the needs of today’s violinist.
Young artists also have access to seasonal intensives and workshops as part of their participation in the studio program.
Jacqueline created this studio structure based on years of effective private teaching, group seminars, practice workshops, and her experience directing both in-person and online summer intensives for string players. She has a deep understanding of what skills today’s violinists need to succeed and a commitment to supporting individual students on their unique paths.
