Private Lessons & Group Classes

Gallagher Violins offers weekly private violin and viola lessons in 30-, 45-, 60-, and 75-minute increments on Monday through Thursday for students ages 3–18. Lessons focus on the Suzuki repertoire and principles, with additional supplemental materials as needed. Mrs. Kathleen will help guide you in selecting the appropriate lesson length for your child.

All private lessons include a 30-minute weekly group class, held every Wednesday, except during the summer semester. Group classes reinforce skills introduced in private lessons while providing students with the opportunity to interact and build connections within the studio. Attendance is mandatory, and there is no private lesson-only option.

Virtual lessons may be offered on a case-by-case basis.

Gallagher Violins is an approved IEM Inc. South Sutter Charter School vendor.
