Violin Lessons Mountain

Instruments: Violin, Viola

For beginning students it's very important to develop their correct habits of posture, how to hold the violin, hands position, correct breathing. I moved them step by step, once the student has progressed with his technical skills, I will introduce him to the Solo repertoire according to his abilities, for his first recital concert. For the adult students, I think it's a good plan to ask them their goals, their thoughts and how much they think they will be able to practice. Read More

I have had a lifetime of performing, recording, teaching music! I studied piano, then violin, then became a singer songwriter in the 80's and 90's. I have performed at weddings, bars, nightclubs, conferences and churches. I began teaching in the 2000's and have enjoyed passing on the skills and the experience of learning music to my students. I am fun, I relate to kids well, and I am devoted to raising their self esteem by praising their accomplishments. Read More

While still in high school, I discovered that I love watching others realize their own musical potential. I began with tutoring my peers and enjoyed it enough to take on students of my own. My teaching had to take a pause during my college years, but I have been looking forward to the freedom to teach again!

I have consistently been teaching students in my home for the past 7 years and never want to stop! My goal with each student is to teach the fundamentals of the violin/viola, and especially how to practice in an organized way. I want my students to gain their own love for the instrument and be inspired daily by music. My students are required to practice daily and perform often. I want each student to walk away from lessons feeling like a better, more educated, and excited person. Read More
