Violin and viola for every age, from first songs to polished performance
Glebe Strings Studio blends the nurturing, ear-first Suzuki approach with the discipline and technique of the Royal Conservatory, for players of every age and level.
Why students love learning here
A teaching approach built on two trusted traditions, plus a genuine love of making music fun.
Suzuki-Inspired Ear Training
Students learn to listen first — building tone, pitch, and musicality by ear, in a compassionate, encouraging environment where mistakes are just part of learning.
Royal Conservatory Reading
Solid sight-reading and music theory built on the RCM curriculum, giving students a strong foundation for exams, ensembles, and lifelong musicianship.
Fun Goals & Gamified Practice
Beginners set their sights on a favourite pop or movie theme song from day one, while practice challenges and small rewards keep motivation high week after week.
For young beginners
Starting an instrument can feel intimidating — so lessons begin with a goal that already excites your child: learning to play a song they already know and love, whether that's a chart-topping hit or a favourite movie theme. Suzuki-style ear training builds real musicality from the very first note, while gentle, encouraging feedback keeps practice something to look forward to, not dread.

For students ready to go further, lessons dig into the details that separate good playing from virtuosic playing: hand and body positioning, shifting, bow control, dynamics, and expressive phrasing. Combined with Royal Conservatory reading and repertoire, advancing students build the technique and musicianship to tackle exams, auditions, and performances with confidence.
