About Ballance Talent Education
Ballance Talent Education provides high quality music education in violin, viola, and cello at all levels using the Suzuki Mother Tongue model of education in a supportive environment. Students take a weekly private lesson, where they and their parents learn how to practice at home daily, as well as a weekly group class for their level, which includes both ensemble playing and Dalcroze, an incredible music and movement philosophy developed by a teacher at the Geneva Conservatory in Switzerland. Students of Ballance Talent Education stand out for developing strong technique and expression, the twin abilities to play by ear and read music well, and for generally being well rounded musicians. Problem solving, working well with others, and working toward long-term goals are all benefits of study.

New students who have never played before will observe at least one lesson and meet with the teacher to discuss the studio policies and how to get started. The teacher will advise you as to when and where to get your instrument so that it is the size and quality which will help you learn most easily.
Students who already play and are looking for a teacher may also observe, and also may schedule a trial lesson with the teacher to discuss studio policy and what the next steps in your music education might look like.
