Violin Lessons South

Instruments: Violin, Viola, Music

I'm a passionate and entertaining instructor who loves working with students by sharing my love for music. In 2014, I graduated from Converse College with a Bachelor of Music degree in Viola Performance and in 2016, I graduated from DePaul University with a Master of Music degree. I enjoy playing violin and viola. Violin was actually my primary instrument for the first 12 years of my playing career. I currently play with a number of orchestras in the South Carolina area; including: South Carolina Philharmonic Orchestra (sub), Greenville Symphony Orchestra (sub), Aiken Symphony Orchestra and The Rock Hill Symphony Orchestra.

Instruments: Violin

I began teaching beginner players dating back to high school and continued teaching in college part time. I have taught a diverse age range of students, strongly focusing on musicality, phrasing, and intuition of music. I heavily focus on eliminating bad habits early while engaging in flexible teaching styles. I have over 8 years of experience as a violin freelancer, mostly in weddings. My students are always encouraged to ask questions and to have fun. Read More

I am partial to Samuel Applebaum's methods: For young beginners, I like tto begin with the String Builder series; then, to improve upon understanding of key signatures, move on to Scales for Strings. Similarly, I'm also a fan of Suzuki, although I am not entirely limited to those two. And, of course recital and performance pieces are a must, preferably of the students's choosing - usually students already have something in mind that they want to learn! Read More

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Violin, Fiddle

For beginners, I typically start students off with the suzuki books to build technique, but I teach them from the classical perspective rather than the suzuki method. With intermediate and advanced students, i will introduce solo repertoire appropriate for recital performance and/or a commercial piece (fiddle tunes, pop songs, etc) that the student is interested in learning. Fiddle is my specialty, but I also teach classical violin and even my fiddle students will learn classical technique. Read More

My teaching experience is quite diverse for someone my age. I am only 24, but in the last 8 years when I started teaching at 16, I have been able to work with some amazing people in some amazing places! In 2013 I was privileged to work with Fine Arts Summer Academy out of Nashville Tennessee as a mentor for both individual instruction and group ensemble. I was also able to work as an instructor for another music camp based in WV called Coda Mountain Academy from 2010 to 2013. Read More
