WHY CHOOSE US?
L E S S O N S & C L A S S E S
The Sesek String Studio uses a precise 10 Level system so that proper facility and technique are ensured every step of the way. This includes the Sassmannshaus Method of violin teaching for beginners continuing with appropriately selected pieces, traditional etudes and exercises. Students and parents know EXACTLY what benchmarks are required to achieve the next level of playing.
See below for our lesson and class options

STUDIO CLASS
As part of the curriculum, students are encouraged to play in studio classes offered several times throughout the year. This is a time for students of similar levels to play together and/or perform solos in front of their peers and parents. A pianist will be there to play with you or your child if a piece requires piano.
There are two classes: Level 1-4 and 5-10.
Both instructors are present for studio classes

MUSIC THEORY AND AURAL SKILLS
(ROYAL CONSERVATORY, ABRSM, and
COLLEGE LEVEL)
For the Beginner to Professional. Great for a young person learning the basics or a pre-professional student either wanting to test out of the early college/university curriculum, or get a head start before entering. Dr. Sešek has almost 10 years of collegiate teaching experience as the professor of Music Theory at Seattle University, and has helped dozens of students of all levels. Lessons are 15, 30 or 60 minutes once a week.
