Cornwall Music Service Trust (CMST) stands at the forefront of music education in Cornwall, and we are dedicated to enriching lives through the power of melody. Here, we will showcase how you can learn the violin with us, no matter where you live in Cornwall.

Classroom Lessons

Organised by schools, our teachers are available for whole-class lessons, allowing large groups of students to explore the violin in an inclusive atmosphere. Designed to take students from never playing to performing, our classroom sessions provide a structured and engaging environment for students to learn and grow together.

Small Group Lessons

Our small group violin lessons have a dynamic and collaborative atmosphere, fostering student friendship and teamwork. Through these sessions, students can develop their playing and have opportunities to share experiences and learn from their peers, creating a supportive, inclusive and inspiring learning environment.

Individual Lessons

Personalised individual instruction with one of our qualified and experienced violin instructors helps students to let their talent bloom. Individual lessons allow teachers to tailor their teaching to cater to individual learning styles and skill levels, strongly emphasising technique and musical expression and building a solid foundation for every aspiring violinist.
