Chris was an excellent instructor. Classes were productive and we could see the growth in our child. Our last year working with Chris, our child won Best Musician in the school orchestra despite only being in sixth grade and a first time orchestra student.

Chris is amazing with kids. He is very patient and knowledgeable. I especially loved his feedback after every lesson. My daughter is now in guitar lessons, and her current instructor is amazed at how fast she’s picked up the movement of the strings. We always say it is all thanks to Mr Chris’ violin lessons.

My daughter has been taking violin classes with Chris for almost two years. She went from knowing absolutely nothing about the instrument to reading music quite well and playing four songs beautifully. She has learned a lot. Thank you so much Chris.

The Chris Wojahn Method™

A Clearer Path Forward.

Students make stronger progress when they understand what is happening, why it is happening, and how to solve problems independently—not simply repeat a passage until something changes.

01 / IDENTIFY

Find the cause.

Recognize the technical, musical, physical, or practice issue preventing progress.

02 / ADJUST

Make a change.

Choose a specific adjustment to posture, movement, bow technique, listening, or preparation.

03 / DEVELOP

Build reliability.

Use focused practice to turn the adjustment into a repeatable, dependable skill.

04 / APPLY

Become independent.

Transfer what you learned to new passages, repertoire, and musical situations.

In person and online

Inside the studio.

Private study is offered in Conway, Orlando and online. Lessons can address foundational technique, tone, intonation, bow control, rhythm, sight-reading, orchestral preparation, musical expression, and effective practice.

For the first lesson, bring your violin or viola, bow, and music you are currently studying. Beginners who do not yet own an instrument can discuss suitable rental or purchase options before booking.
