Hello everyone!
My name is Étienne Girard. I’m a professional violinist and teacher, and I currently have a few openings for new private violin students.
I teach out of my apartment in Solar Uniquartier in Brossard (right next to a great park with easy street parking), but I’m also happy to travel to your place for lessons for an extra fee if that's more convenient for you.
A quick bit about me: I have a Master’s in Violin Performance from the New England Conservatory in Boston and I’ve been teaching private lessons since 2016. I also spend a lot of time teaching in local Brossard schools. When I'm not teaching, I regularly perform solo and chamber music across Quebec.
As a teacher, I'm really patient and focus on adapting to how each student learns best. My main goal is to make playing the violin genuinely fun, while helping you build good posture and figure out how to practice efficiently.
A few quick details:
- I teach kids and adults (ages 5 and up).
- To make sure you're getting the most out of our lessons, I just ask that students commit to practicing at least 20 minutes a day.
- Rates are $60 for a 1-hour lesson or $35 for 30 minutes.
- Just a heads up, there is a $20 cancellation fee if you need to cancel with less than 24 hours' notice.
Feel free to call or text me if you have any questions or if you'd like to set up a first lesson. Looking forward to hearing from you!
