Adaptive Violin Instruction in Denton, TX
Adaptive violin instruction at Wang-Hiller Violin Studio is designed for learners whose needs may not be met by traditional teaching methods. Whether you’re a disabled musician, a student recovering from injury, or someone who learns best with sensory supports or flexible pacing, our lessons are built around you, not the other way around. Amy Wang-Hiller has more than 15 years of expertise in performance and teaching, as well as firsthand knowledge of living with a disability. Amy uses this knowledge to help every student with care and accuracy.
Instead of putting a strict method on you, we work together to design a strategy that puts comfort, safety, and long-term improvement first. Every session is different and focused on your strengths and weaknesses. For example, you might change your posture, try different ways to bow, do sensory-friendly activities, or work on your stamina. For students who are neurodivergent, have a chronic illness, or are tired, we change each lesson so that playing music is still fun and not burdensome.
Flexibility you can count on:
- In-person and online lesson options
- Comfortable pacing and rest-integrated sessions
- Techniques adapted for mobility, sensory, or stamina needs
- Respectful support, not pressure
We believe that all bodies and brains are musical. Whether you’re playing your very first note or returning to the violin after time away, this is a space where your experience matters—and your goals are possible.
