Located just north of St. Albans, Vermont in the Village of Swanton, Swanton Strings provides you or
your children with the caliber of strings lessons unparalleled in the region. Listen to what we are
hearing…
“Swanton Strings was the answer for our son’s growing love for violin.  Gianna’s
caring demeanor and passion for strings has enabled him to get the level of violin
instruction that previously necessitated travel well outside Franklin County,
Vermont. We homeschool our children and Swanton Strings’ flexible scheduling
enables us to easily fit music lessons into our curriculum. Basic lessons in violin
were our son’s initial need years ago which were easily met at Swanton Strings,
however, Gianna’s level of skill has enabled him to remain with her playing violin,
improving with every lesson, and we know that he will be able to do so into
highly advanced levels. I encourage you to contact Swanton Strings for your
private violin lessons today!  For Vermont violin lessons, you can’t go wrong!”
