Violin Lessons Mountain

Instruments: Piano, Violin

I began teaching lessons as early as high school. It started out as a way to mentor younger students in my school district and get them ready for auditions for orchestras in high school. I then began to take other students and continued to do so throughout my undergrad. I have had students ranging from age 3 to age 15 before, but youre never too old to start learning music! A students experience with a teacher can make or break their interest in music. Read More

It's rewarding to see a student's face light up in understanding or triumph when the music clicks. In working towards that, I help create plans and goals that the student would be able to achieve, especially with personal practice. I make sure the student can meet their long-term goals by breaking it down week by week. If there is a way to provide excitement, whether it be by finding a piece of music they really want to play or a relevant game they found, I will be sure to help support those elements in my preparations.

I always explore different methods that might fit the age and personality of the student but for keyboard lessons I have found success with the Alfred Piano Method. Instrumental lessons usually follow the method book that is selected by their school band director. Beyond that I have a large library of supplementary music to expand the students interest with new styles and composers.I'm very flexible with the method books and after I get to know the student I can select a method that would work the best for instruction.

My teaching experience includes a wide range of topics, ages, and skill levels. In addition to private violin lessons I have taught music theory, aural skills, and conducted numerous orchestras. It is essential that my students don't only learn violin technique and repertoire, but all aspects of music in order to become well rounded musicians. In addition to a focus on solo repertoire my students are encouraged to participate in either a school of local ensemble and seek out performance opportunities. Read More
