About Adam
My name is Adam Sweet. I have a BA in Music from Hampshire College, and certificates in violin and performance from the New England Conservatory of Music in Weston. I opened my Studio in 1986 and have been teaching mostly adults and teenagers how to enjoy roots music on the fiddle and mandolin ever since. I always have openings in my studio. I teach all styles, specializing in Bluegrass, Celtic, Klezmer and Classical I teach all ages, specializing in Adults and mature Teenagers
I love teaching! Since 1986, I have been working with adults and teenagers teaching them how to play violin-family and mandolin-family instruments. I love my work.
I have been teaching friends to play mandolin and violin since high school. After graduating from college, I decided I wanted to specialize in teaching adults, so I took several continuing education courses about working with adults. I opened my studio in 1986 and have been teaching since.
I have a BA in Music and certificates in violin, performance and chamber music coaching.
About the lesson
- All Levels

All languages in which the lesson is available :
English
Private lessons are one hour a week. There is a minimum of 3 students for group classes.
I work with students of all ages, mostly adults.
Make sure you are committed to at least a year of daily practice, 30-60 minutes. Set aside money for lessons, rental or purchase of a decent instrument and sheet music and accessories. Committing to playing a musical instrument is serious business, but it is a skill that you will carry with you for the rest of your life, and something that will bring great joy and happiness to you and your community.
Members of the Springfield Mandolin Orchestra performed for an audience of retired and elderly at the Arbors Assisted Living facility in Amherst. We played Mozart and Bach. They loved it!

Very good Teacher
I hired Mr. Sweet for mandolin lessons after hearing him play Celtic music at the Celtic Heels School of Dance in Greenfield, MA about 7 or 8 years ago. Since then, I've joined his Celtic Group Class and the Springfield Mandolin Orchestra. He's taught me to play and read the treble clef, the alto clef. I can also play bluegrass, celtic and klezmer music. It's a lot of fun!
The thing I like most about taking lessons with Mr. Sweet is how much you learn; it's a holistic approach to music. You get the whole picture: history, theory, related material, and the instrument itself, not just how to hold it and play it, but play it beautifully with a focus on tone and expression.
I am an aspiring violin student of Adam Sweet. In a year and a half I have learned to read and have developed a deep appreciation for Irish music. Thanks to Adam it has been fun and very rewarding in that I am now ready to purchase that perfect violin that suits my expectations as I continue to invest in my endeavor. I would recommend the Adam Sweet music studio to anyone interested in learning a stringed instrument.
