Meet Erik Williams, Founder and Lead Teacher

Driven by a passion for music and a desire to nurture the next generation of violinists, Erik Williams founded Sacramento Strings Violin Lessons in 2011. With over two decades of experience under his belt, Erik has honed his skills to become a skilled musician and an exceptional educator.

Unique and Effective Teaching Approach

Erik's teaching philosophy revolves around building a strong sense of community and fostering individual growth. His revolutionary approach combines regular private lessons with weekly "quartet rehearsals" comprised of hand-picked students at similar skill levels. This empowers students to learn, grow, and collaborate while developing their unique voices within a supportive ensemble.

What Makes Sacramento Strings Special?

• Individual Attention: Each student receives personalized instruction from Erik, ensuring their individual needs and goals are met.
• Community Learning: The "quartet" system fosters a collaborative and encouraging environment, allowing students to learn from each other and develop their teamwork skills.
• Context and Inspiration: Students learn more than just technical skills. Erik incorporates music theory, music history, and aesthetic discussions into lessons, enriching the overall learning experience.

A Passion for Music and Teaching

Erik's journey to becoming a violin teacher was fueled by his own negative experiences with ineffective instructors. This personal motivation translates into his unwavering dedication to creating a positive and inspiring learning environment for his students. He believes music should be accessible and enjoyable, and his passion for the violin resonates in every lesson.
