My main focus with string instruments is sound development - how to use the bow properly and get a beautiful sound from the instrument first and foremost. I typically use Sound Innovations for Strings for beginning students, and start supplementing with different repertoire as we get further into lessons. For beginning students, we start with a proper hold, left hand set up, and only after that do we get to using the bow so we can focus on getting the best sound possible out of the instrument.

I have taught individual private lessons for the last seven years and I have continued to perform and compose. I want all of my students to play to the best of their ability and in accordance with their playing style while truly enjoy playing! I use traditional methods in a way that allows for individual pacing. I teach traditional methods, focusing both on strong technical ability and lively, soulfully inspired playing. Read More

Open-minded and flexible, Nerea strives for her students to learn through fun, hands on activities, always leaving her lessons with smiles on their faces. Beginner students are always taught the basics of posture, positioning and how to move the bow on the strings. They then go on to learn bowing and the strings names, followed by finger position and musical pieces. Although Nerea focuses on technique, she always tries to get her student play songs/musical pieces quickly, even if they are simple. Read More

For beginning students on violin we start with many techniques found in the Suzuki method. From there, we jump into different styles of music while still focusing on developing solid technical foundations for the student. Once we move into standard repertoire the lessons begin to change based on what the student needs. I am a firm believer in consistent practice. I would much rather have a student who practices daily for 15 minutes then a student who does not practice except for the day before their lesson for two hours. Read More

I began when I was a child studying the violin using the Suzuki method. Since that time I have had an eclectic music education and a variety of teachers that used many different pedagogical studies and theories to help me gain a well-rounded music education. Read More
