Lessons with Lauren
Violin & viola lessons for every stage of the journey.
A welcoming studio in Ashburn, Virginia — in-person and virtual.
All ages, all levels
From beginners just rosining their first bow to advanced students preparing audition repertoire — every student welcome.
Three lesson lengths
Weekly 30, 45, or 60-minute formats. Lesson length is matched to the student's age and goals.
In-person & virtual
In-person lessons in Lauren's Ashburn home studio, with virtual options for students outside the area.
Strong fundamentals
Posture, tone, and technique built deliberately through scales, etudes, and a thoughtful repertoire path.
Goals that fit you
Performance prep, audition prep, or simply joyful playing — goals are tailored to each student.
Studio recitals
Annual studio recitals give every student a chance to share their progress in a warm, supportive setting.
Weekly Lessons
Choose a length that fits the student.
Younger students often start with 30-minute lessons. As repertoire grows, most students move to 45 or 60 minutes to allow time for scales, etudes, and longer pieces.
30
Minutes / week
A focused weekly lesson, ideal for beginners and younger students.
45
Minutes / week
More room for scales, etudes, and longer repertoire — the most common length.
60
Minutes / week
For advanced students preparing auditions, concerti, or recital programs.
