Violin & Viola Lessons and Classes

Violin & Viola Lessons and Classes

Whether you’re a beginner or advanced, a young child or seasoned adult, you are welcome to join us to learn how to play the viola or violin, improve technique and repertoire, enjoy music making, perform and more! Mason Community Arts Academy in Fairfax, Virginia offers the perfect blend of university-quality violin/viola teachers and a supportive environment with other community members.

Want to give us a try? We suggest starting by scheduling a paid (non-refundable) trial lesson with an instructor to ensure a good fit. After the trial lesson, students can then schedule a consistent day & time for the remainder of the current semester (Fall, Spring and Summer).

Our instructors are university trained musicians, and many are professional Teaching Artists. All of our teachers undergo a rigorous background check through George Mason University. Lessons take place at the Academy building at 4260 Chain Bridge Road in Fairfax, VA near the Mason campus.

Along with lessons, students can perform in recitals, take studio classes, and join chamber (small group) ensembles. Violin beginner classes are offered in the fall and spring. Viola and violin programs are offered in the summer.
