Faq Report

Generally speaking, children about 5 to 6 years old can start learning. This is usually when their cognitive and fine motor skills have been developed to a level that's suitable to begin. We have students ranging from absolute novices all the way to Licentiate level candidates. Not only that we have students on all skill levels, our current student age ranges between 5 and 67 years old.

Simon is a musician who can play well, teach well and be able to inspire. We are lucky to have him as the teacher.

Excellent and professional violin teacher. Always encouraging students instead of giving negative feedback on their performance.

I have known Maestro Lau for over 20 years, and In my experience his studio is a hidden treasure in developing future generations of outstanding musicians. Canada needs more well qualified violin teachers to contribute to our children’s real music educations. Simon Lau is among the only few whom I will send my kids to study violin from. 5-stars on results, easy to communicate and understand, teaching method, good with small kids, and reasonable pricing.

A patient and understanding teacher. Simon helps me to correct my bad habits effectively. He can explain how to perform the techniques in a concise manner which helps me to master it easily.

Simon is a very patient, conscientious and passionate instructor who is also a master at the art of violin himself. I've known Simon for 3 years now and his dedication to his and his student's craft is second to none.

I'd been learning violin with Simon for about ten years; I can definitely say I progressed during that time, and learned a lot. I think I grew both musically, and as a person as well; in addition to being a great violin teacher, he's also very patient and understanding. Lessons are more than just weekly mandatory sessions; I personally feel as if there's something more in them, though I can't quite put it into words, but it's a really good thing that I don't believe you can really find at any other place that offers violin lessons as well! For the record, Simon isn't the first person I'd learned
