Give your child a great start …
Enrich them with foundations for happiness and success in life
Kim passed on to me her love of music and amazing work ethic. She created a familial environment where we could grow, learn and excel together. The skills I learnt and friends I made at her studio will stay with me forever.
Kim Bishop has been Melbourne’s most soughtafter Suzuki violin teacher for many years. She will be very greatly missed in Melbourne but the wonderful violin playing by Kim’s current and former students in our youth orchestras and at tertiary institutions, including the Australian National Academy of Music, is testament to her fantastic contribution to her students’ musical careers and to music in Melbourne generally. Hobart is very lucky to be welcoming home one of Australia’s finest teachers.
It gives me great pleasure to most warmly recommend my outstanding colleague Kim Bishop as a major figure in the Australian string teacher fraternity. For many years Kim has achieved outstanding results in her violin teaching. She has taught, with great success students at every level of violinistic ability, from beginners to highly advanced players who have achieved significantly national prominence.
“Musical ability is not an inborn talent but an ability which can be developed.
Any child who is properly trained can develop musical ability, just as all children develop the ability to speak their mother tongue.
The potential of every child is unlimited.”
(Shinichi Suzuki)
Tasmanian Musician, Returning Home
Born and raised in Tasmania, Kim Bishop has forged an international reputation as a leading violin teacher in Australia and abroad.
All children will perform as soloists in a positive, nurturing environment. In addition, children will perform together regularly in group items.
Parents will be advised of options to attend workshops interstate and internationally. In time, this studio will host our own workshops here in Hobart. These workshops will not only be of great benefit to our local children, but they will be very enticing events for children from interstate!
