Viola Lessons: Elevate Your Artistry

Personalized Guidance

At the London School of Art, we celebrate individuality. Our one-to-one viola lessons connect you with professional tutors who specialize in this captivating instrument. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced player, we tailor our approach to amplify your unique abilities.

The Viola Journey

For Fun or Graded Exams: Choose your path. Viola lessons can be a delightful pursuit or a stepping stone to ABRSM-graded exams. Our syllabus covers it all.

ABRSM Exams: Prepare for success. Viola exams include three pieces (selected from the syllabus), scales, arpeggios, sight-reading, and aural tests. Aim for distinction—the pinnacle of achievement.

Parental Partnership

Commitment Matters: Grade exams demand dedication. Regular practice is essential, and parental involvement ensures progress. Encourage your child’s musical journey—just 20 minutes, four times a week.

Balancing Act: While exams matter, we prioritize holistic growth. We don’t rush students; instead, we build secure musical foundations. It’s about quality, not shortcuts.

Prelude to Excellence: Preliminary Grade

Musical Skills Unleashed: Our Preliminary Grade introduces young violists to essential skills. Explore pitch, rhythm, controlled playing, accuracy, and tone quality. It’s a stepping stone to greatness.

Grades 1 to 8: Your Symphony Unfolds

Diverse Repertoire: As you progress, embrace the challenge. Standard graded exams feature three pieces from each of lists A, B, and C. You’ll have options to showcase your artistry.

Beyond Performance: Scales, arpeggios, sight-reading, and aural tests complete the musical canvas. Each grade elevates your mastery.
