The Tacoma Young Violin Program (TYVP) is for young people (ages 6-10) who wish to explore and discover the violin! Students will learn beginning violin skills, note reading, rhythmic foundations, how to play together in a group, and have the opportunity to make new friends.

No prior experience is necessary to join the Level 1 class! Classes are dependent upon enrollment. Students will need to rent or purchase a violin. In addition, students are encouraged to purchase their own music to further their development outside of class, but music and supplemental materials will be provided by TYSA if needed.

All classes are held on Tuesday afternoons at Kiddos and Kin. Classes begin on Tuesday, September 12, 2023 and run through Tuesday, May 21, 2024. Full class schedule will be sent to families after completing the registration form below and paying the class registration fee.
