Lessons

Looking for beginner violin lessons for your child?

As a teacher, I am passionate not only about guiding students every step of the way to achieve that beautiful string sound, but encouraging them to experience the wonder of music. The joy of playing a musical instrument goes far beyond technical skill, and my approach to lessons reflects this. I draw my teaching style from Mimi Zweig and Suzuki pedagogy. My classroom is adaptive, supportive, non-competitive, collaborative, and fun.

​

I've played the violin for nearly two decades in different capacities: as a classical soloist, a member of several orchestras and ensembles, a session musician, and a member of a contemporary worship band. The range of musical settings I've played in help me teach a variety of styles to young musicians. Learning to play a musical instrument, especially the violin, is equal parts challenging and rewarding. My biggest takeaway from years of playing is that a lasting connection with an instrument comes when students can see themselves in what they're learning.

​

Choosing to learn an instrument is an excellent opportunity for kids to express themselves and learn a broad set of skills that will change how they see the world. Through learning an instrument, they also develop patience, creativity, focus, persistence, and problem-solving skills.
