ABOUT THE STUDIO

I am eager for more violinists to join me and my 20+ other students to learn together and build a community. My students range from age 8 to 78, and come from all over the US and Canada including Hawaii and Montreal.

I hold three online recitals a year following a standard trimester system, and support students being in contact with each other because sometimes you learn best from your peers.

TEACHING STYLE

Whether you are a retired adult looking for a hobby, or a parent of a kid who you'd like to introduce violin, you have come to the right place. My teaching style is all about making the experience with your violin a fun but fruitful time. I like to joke around all the time with my students, I really get to know them, but I also like to know that this hobby is being taken seriously. 

My students learn violin skills through various genres of music including classical, jazz, pop, hymnal, and even old time country/blue grass. Starting my youngest students with a standard approach such as the Suzuki method offers them the opportunity to grow as violinists at a high level by building a strong foundation, and allowing my adult students the freedom to choose what they like to learn gives the motivation and support such a hobby requires with a busy schedule

CURRICULUM

For younger students I recommend Suzuki Books 1-3 and for older students music is curated specifically for student interests such Jazz standards, the Fiddlers Fake Book, Rieding and Seitz Violin Concertos, Hymnal books and more.
