Program Overview

Teeny Violini strives to provide high-quality, engaging, creative music instruction to child care centers at an affordable monthly cost while creating a nurturing and fun environment for kids to explore music through literacy, singing, rhythm, and learning to play the violin. Despite the overwhelming support from research data and countless testimonials all over the world, schools and educational programs have faced a drastic cut in funding for music and other arts programs. Our goal is to take the hassle out of lesson planning and hiring specialized teachers by providing a high-quality, affordable, and engaging music program that school owners will know as a valuable partner in educating their students.

"I spent a couple of hours a couple weeks back witnessing the magic of Teeny Violini at a first-rate early learning center in Liberty City. I came away deeply impressed by the children and the Teeny Violini team led by Portia Dunkley." ~Dave Lawrence

"Dear Ms. Portia, I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible experience my daughter, Ayani, had at the Teeny Violini Summer Program this year. At just 7 years old, Ayani has developed a genuine love for music, and it's clear that your program played a significant role in nurturing that passion. From the very first day, Ayani was excited to attend each session, and she would come home beaming with joy, eager to show us what she had learned. The way you and your team made learning fun and accessible for the children was truly remarkable. Ayani not only improved her violin skills but also gained confidence and a deeper appreciation for music. Thank you for creating such a warm, encouraging environment where young musicians like Ayani can thrive. We are incredibly grateful for the positive impact you've had on her musical journey, and we look forward to continuing her development with Teeny Violini in the future." ~Parent
