Violin Lessons South

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Violin

I first talk with my students to figure out their goals.  Once a reasonable goal has been agreed upon, I enthusiastically help them jump right into playing their instrument.  By breaking up portions of the lesson with review of simpler pieces, I encourage my students to play fun and simpler things as well, so that they do not beocme frustrated.  I always bring my positive attitude to each lesson, and have the students write down what to work on after each lesson.

Hi there! I'm a Sacramento based violinist, violist, and bass player. I've been an instructor since 2020 and have had the privilege to work with some great students who I've gotten to explore their creativity with. I studied music at Sacramento State's School of Music at the age of 16 and began studying viola under Anna Kruger as well as chamber music under Anna Presler and Andy Luchansky. I also was granted the opportunity to study under William Barbini, a former New York philharmonic violinist and a student of Ivan Galamian. Read More

Instruments: Violin, Viola

Through my many years of taking lessons I've encountered different techniques of teaching that I like to use with all of my students. Everyone learns differently and at different rates and I like to work with the student personally and develop a plan that I will think works best with them. I like to work to get basic fundamentals down to build a solid foundation, but I also like to include fun pieces the student can work on and play for family and friends to keep them interested in learning and excited about all the progress they are making.

We can come up with a plan to help you define your goals, a practice plan to meet your needs, and I always encourage students to perform, enter auditions/competitions, and/or recitals, open mic nights, school ensembles, All State, Solo/Ensemble, out of school ensembles. Students will have many opportunities to perform, participate in workshops where we focus on certain techniques, certain types of music (i.e. fiddle, mariachi, jazz), learn improvisation, and meet guest artists.
