Bariolage offers private lessons and group classes to string instrumentalists of all ages and levels. Our weekly private lessons are taught from our teachers’ studios, which are located in NDG, the Plateau, and the South Shore. The group classes are also taught on a weekly basis. Though private lessons and group classes are currently offered only in violin, we will soon also be adding cello to our program! 

 

Music lessons offer many benefits alongside learning an instrument. In addition to strengthening cognitive skills, ​​studies have shown that musicians often develop better memory, improved language skills, and planning and problem-solving skills. Through group and ensemble classes, our program also supports social development and fosters a sense of belonging. Students learn how to coordinate and collaborate, working towards a common goal through active listening and teamwork. Playing music strengthens the brain’s ability to think, learn, and process information, while also helping people to become more confident, empathetic, and socially connected.
