Piano, Violin, Viola & Composition lessons

First Principles was founded by Cooper Grosscup & Leah Froyd, alumnus of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. We employ combination of traditional and original methods to provide a fun, rigorous and rewarding musical experience.

We believe giving our students as many tools as possible to unlock their passion and abilities. In addition to instrumental studies, we prioritize musicianship, theory, composition, improv and chamber music.

Students at FP learn skills that will help them in every aspect of their lives, and foster a healthy and joyful and disciplined relationship to their art form.

"I hired Leah for violin lessons with my son. First, her Bio speaks for itself. When you work with her, you can tell she is skilled, knowledgeable and passionate. She is patient and absolutely brilliant. I didn't know how online lessons would work, but it just did. Not only is she teaching him correct form but also she guides him when he has to tune the violin as well. We have been with Leah for quite some time and really enjoy working with her. She keeps a smile and manages to make my kid smile is well. She is encouraging and makes learning fun. My son really enjoys learning cartoon theme songs and other pieces. He laughs when he realizes she knows the song too. Because of her care, my son has begun composing his own music (yes, I said composing). He writes, plays and laugh. If you're looking for a fun, knowledgeable and patient tutor. I highly recommend Ms. Leah."
