Join Gwendolyn Masin every Wednesday for 30 minutes and immerse yourself in a world of music and fantasy. Gwendolyn will trace the adventures, initial steps, growing confidence, and joyous successes that are experienced as a result of discovering the magic and thrill of violin-playing. As you participate in playing games, listening to stories, and trying out exercises and pieces, you will become the hero or heroine of your own narrative, meeting myriad characters and scenarios along the way that will help you to meet challenges and jump hurdles along the way on your road to becoming a violinist.

And, most certainly, these classes are designed to support the teacher who guides both.
Come along, bring your instrument and a sense of curiosity. These classes involve active participation (if you wish) and there will always be time for you to ask questions. These are all-levels sessions, suitable for beginners, intermediate, and advanced players, aged 4 upwards.

Our community classes are based on a system of dāna. Dāna is the practice of cultivating generosity. At The Exhale, multiple hours of learning are given each week in the form of community classes, where the price of a class is recommended but not imposed. Those who teach these community classes volunteer their time and offer the revenue generated by it to faculty members who are in financial need during this unprecedented time in our collective history. We thank you for supporting this eco-system of giving and receiving!
