Violin Lessons

- Students vary from beginner to high intermediate levels and range from age 8 to 78.
- Students participate in three casual online recitals a year following a standard trimester system.
- Lessons are held online through zoom and in-studio and recitals are held online through zoom
- My teaching style is all about making the experience with your violin a fun but fruitful time.
- Expect to work hard, but feel fulfilled as this can be a lifelong hobby!
- I use Suzuki Books 1-3, Sitt Studies, Kreutzer Etudes, Schradiek Excercises,Jazz standards, the Fiddlers Fake Book, Rieding and Seitz Violin Concertos, Hymnal books and more.
- Younger students must learn through a standard approach such as the Suzuki method which offers them the opportunity to grow as violinists at a high level by building a strong foundation.
- Adult students are given more freedom to choose what they like to learn, within parameters according to their technical level.

Lesson Information

My adult students range from age 18 to 78. I have doctors, college students, moms and dads, and retirees. I teach all genres of music and scheduling is flexible and based off student availability.
I teach kids from age 4 to 17 and use the Suzuki method at the start and then venture to more advanced music. Kids play in their school orchestras, youth orchestras, and are usually more advanced in school. My lessons work well with a busy schedule where extra-curricular activities are very demanding!
Payments are collected monthly or weekly, but must be paid before the lesson time.
Venmo, Zelle, or Paypal are accepeted.
Scholarships are available
Please visit your local violin store (luthier) to rent or buy one of their instruments
To purchase a violin online, students have gone to Amazon.com, sharmusic.com, or fiddlershop.com
Kids under 13 must get smaller violin - please consult me by mentioning this in your message on my contact page
