As you embark on your musical journey with us, you’ll discover a world of resources, classes, and extracurricular activities that enhance your experience both inside and outside the studio. Violinists take private lessons with Professor Isakov, participate in studio classes, collaborate on chamber music and orchestra performances with fellow students, and study music history, theory, and aural skills.
If you are considering becoming a music major in the Violin Studio, we invite you to get in touch, take a complimentary violin lesson with Professor Isakov, observe a studio class and Ohio State Symphony concert or a rehearsal, and tour music facilities. Request a visit.
