With an emphasis on healthy technique and strong fundamentals, students gain the physical control and confidence they need to make a beautiful sound.
“Leah Kane is an outstanding violin teacher. What I love most is her attention to detail. She explains the reasoning behind every note she gives, so I understand why the correct technique matters. I feel I'm understanding the violin better, both in practice and in theory.”
-Current Student F. S.
“Leah is very consistent and persistent when it comes to correcting. She is very patient and understanding, and she breaks the material down so the lesson is more digestible.”

Studio Policy
-
Leah’s Violin Studio is a positive and supportive environment with the aim to empower each student in their musical growth. The teacher’s goal is to support the students’ immediate goals and long-term ambitions. She will tailor the curriculum to match each student's specific learning needs.
-
Students agree to arrive at each lesson punctually, well-prepared, and with their assignment books, music, and instrument. To make good progress, daily quality practice is necessary. Please ask questions about home assignments so the student and parents can completely understand the assignments and goals.
Parents: If something is happening at home or school that is affecting your child please let me know. The more information I have, the more I can be sensitive to the needs of your child.
-
Lessons are scheduled for one time weekly.
Tuition will be charged on the 1st of each month to the method on file with My Music Staff. All payments are non-refundable. The studio is open for 44 weeks each calendar year. The weeks where lessons are not held (due to holidays, personal performance opportunities, or illness) will be communicated in advance. Studio closure weeks will not receive a make-up lesson credit.
To end enrollment for the coming month, notice must be received via email by the 15th of the current month.
*Please note that tuition reserves the weekly time slot but may not directly correlate with lessons received if the student does not attend the scheduled lesson times. -
Lessons canceled with under 24 hours’ notice will not be provided a makeup lesson.
Lessons canceled with 24 hours’ notice will be credited a makeup lesson for that month.
All make up lessons are scheduled on a case-by-case basis.
Lessons canceled by me will be given as much notice as possible. Cancellations outside of the guaranteed 44 annual lessons will be rescheduled within 30 days.
Tuition is based on the number of lessons the studio schedules and will not be altered.
-
Each student is responsible for purchasing the required music and materials for lessons. Materials will be assigned by me, and the student will be expected to have the materials no later than two weeks after the materials have been assigned. Advanced notice will be provided whenever possible.
If you have questions or would like input on the purchase of an instrument, please let me know.
-
When students enroll, they are reserving their place in the studio.
If the student decides to pause lessons during the course of a month, tuition for the remainder of the month still applies.
-
For marketing purposes, pictures or short videos may be taken of students during lessons. The content is meant to be promotional, educational, and encouraging for others to pursue violin lessons at the studio. The students will only be identified by their first name. Please let the teacher know if the student prefers to opt out.
