Violin Teachers
Learning to play violin is a very
gratifying pursuit. It is difficult, but once you get the basics down, the fun
never stops!
Our violin teachers are interviewed and
qualified to be able to teach expertly on their instrument. If you want to get
violin playing basics, look no further. We check references and their history.
We make sure they have received the proper education.
Learn how to play a violin with ease.
You can get basic violin lessons, or advanced if you have already played awhile
and are just looking for a new teacher. See our Finding A Good Violin Teacher
page for some excellent tips on finding a good violin teacher.
Each teacher has their own violin
methods they use. If you prefer something specific, be sure to discuss this
with the potential teacher. Some teachers are more suited to give violin
lessons for kids, while others may prefer adults.
We have both Suzuki and traditional
teachers. Just indicate on the form which type you would like.

Small Ensembles
For your special occasions, we have many
types of small string ensembles, and other types of ensembles including
strings. Each of these groups play different types of music, including
classical, jazz, pop, country and hard rock. You should consider what type of
event you have, and what atmosphere you desire. Then you need to figure out the
role that the ensemble will carry on.
While contacting the group’s event
coordinator, be sure to ask the groups specialty, and of course rates. If it is
important to you to have special requests, be sure to bring this up as well.
Some groups could charge a higher fee to arrange a new piece of music that is
not already arranged for their ensemble type.

Violin / Fiddle player wanted for
established professional on-stage Productions:
Name of business or organization: John W. McGrath Productions
E-mail Address: alexandriaroyal@gmail.com
City: Mount Holly
State/Prov: New Jersey
After many years of successful performance we are now expanding the instrumentation of our shows with the addition of a Violin / Fiddle player. Our on-stage performances encompass more than 17 different acts, are known worldwide and very well established, and have been performing for 26 years at only the finest hotels and venues. The music ranges from traditional to international, to the most prolific national (not political) pieces, and is extremely broad in scope. We are looking for someone who shines on stage. This is definitely an opportunity to grab the spotlight while performing with a serious professional and entertaining production. Creative input from the performers is not only encouraged, but is expected, as we are at our best when every performer is engaged.
With performances from Philadelphia to Broadway and Washington DC, and more, we offer an opportunity for a performer who exudes professionalism in all aspects, who loves entertaining people, and having a ball at the same time.
The proper performer will bring professionalism across the board in respect to not only the performance and musical requirements, but also with respect to preparation, reliability, and punctuality, as well as all of the requirements necessary to produce top level professional productions. The candidate will be able to rely likewise that all members of the cast(s) will be expected to meet such professional standards, thus complimenting and supporting the candidates own individual efforts.
This is a unique opportunity offering ongoing work throughout the year. A great deal of the work falls on days and times unlikely to conflict with other performance work you may have. The vast majority of performances are scheduled with great advance notice. This is an opportunity to add significant work to what you already have, whereas everyone else wants you at the exact same time.
All of our acts require our performers to be performing on their feet, and are fully choreographed productions. The proper candidate should understand we are a "Performance Company", and the candidate should be prepared to be an on-stage, choreographed, musical "Performer". We do not sit on chairs.
The current long term performers and production staff bring a list of credits, a level of musical and performance knowledge and capability, in each of their respective areas of expertise that is beyond reproach, and truly held by their peers, clients, and audiences, to be nothing short of world class level.
PERFORMANCE WORK:
* Long term performance work with excellent compensation.
* Performances in Philadelphia, NY (Broadway), Baltimore, Washington DC, and Boston.
* Average audience size 2,000 - 3,000+, composed of high end professional organizations spanning the globe that love what we do!
* Unlimited potential for more work.
REHEARSALS:
* Rehearsals: South Jersey on Monday afternoons. (1-1/2 miles off Exit 5 of Jersey Tpke.)
PERFORMANCE RUN THROUGH DATES:
* South Jersey on Monday afternoons and scheduled directly per upcoming
scheduled performances.
The candidate must be a performer that recognizes that anything worthwhile requires the work to be put into it. If you're looking to do minimal work to grab the money, please don't waste your time or ours. We are serious about doing top level professional performance work, thus entertaining our audiences to a level that leaves them saying nothing less than, "Wow! That was amazing!", while simultaneously recognizing producing this level of performance is the only path to having more work.
The proper candidate is the person that knows the details are everything! That the details are accomplished with massive individual work, and without them, you've betrayed your audience as well as the rest of the cast, and yourself. The proper candidate knows when it's time to have something prepared, and they get it done without fail. If you want work, and you qualify yourself, we will put you to work. Be prepared to work very hard if you want the work and the spot in the show, and want to keep it should it be offered to you.
NOTE: Please respond via email. Viable candidates will be contacted to schedule a phone interview and audition. This is an immediate opportunity and prospective candidates should respond promptly in order to be considered. Thank
you!
Pay. Please be as specific as possible.: per Performance
Time frame needed: Immediately, Open until filled.
Requirements for job: PERSONAL and PROFESSIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
* Solid Violin / Fiddle player with capability to really play!

scholarships are for specific schools. Some scholarships for violin
players are for specific states. Still, some focus on the type of degree

Youth Orchestras and Other Educational Organizations
We strive to include all youth orchestras and other
educational organizations in Delaware. These are a very important part of
a musical education. I learned many things about how to prepare for rehearsals,
and what is expected of me, before I was accepted into my first
professional orchestra. Some orchestras do not hold their musicians to a
high standard, but I think most do.

from you. Please tell us about your orchestra and what sets it apart
from others. If you have links to the applications that we can post
online, we will do that.

Summer Camps, Festivals and Institutes

new camps, festivals, and institutes to try.

They all hold different roles but in general are very useful. Some give
out scholarships while others may help to locate scholarships for you.

help with other types of financial aid for music education. Some can help
professionals. These organizations are a great help if you know about them
and use them.
