G
Posture, bowing, intonation
The fundamentals come first: how the instrument sits, how the bow travels, and how the ear corrects the hand.

ABA Music Academy offers private violin lessons for students across the Santa Clarita Valley, California. Lessons are one-on-one and tailored to the student's level and goals — beginners build correct habits from the first note, and advancing students get focused coaching on repertoire, technique, and performance.
Violin lessons are taught by Asya Anisimova, an award-winning violinist trained at the Tchaikovsky Specialized Music School in Yerevan who has performed as a soloist with the Armenian State Symphony Orchestra.
Families come to the studio from Santa Clarita, Valencia, Newhall, Saugus, Canyon Country, Stevenson Ranch, and Castaic. Studio hours are Monday - Friday 1:00 PM - 9:00 PM and Saturday 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM.
There is no minimum experience. The first lesson is used to assess the student's level, size the instrument, and set goals together — and it is free.
I
What you'll learn
Violin lessons build solid fundamentals and grow into repertoire and ensemble playing.
D
Baroque to Romantic repertoire
Repertoire across the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic periods, chosen to stretch technique and taste at once.
A
Ensemble & recital preparation
Playing with others is a separate skill. Lessons build toward ensemble work and studio recitals.
II
Practice between lessons
Progress on the violin comes from short, consistent practice — not one long session before the lesson. Your teacher writes the week's plan down in the lesson, so families know exactly what a finished day looks like.
