Viola Lessons Southwest

Instruments: Violin, Viola

With children, I typically start with Essential Elements for Strings by Michael Allen, Robert Gillespie and Pamela Tellejohn Hayes. I complement that with the Suzuki method and other fun easy songs I have picked through the years of experience . Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce etudes, scales, vibrato and eventually shifting; and of course solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance.

I'll find the best methods for each student, and I believe that methods can be varied. For example, Suzuki Methods only can bring a beginner to medium level. After few year training with Suzuki, it is hard to make progressions on technique. However, Suzuki Methods can be a good fit for children under 10, because of the fun of study. Read More

Instruments: Guitar, Violin, Cello, Viola, Fiddle, Classical Guitar

I have been passionate about music since the tender age of five. I took years of private lessons from various instructors, and progressed at a rapid rate. By the age of thirteen, I was invited to perform a Carnegie Hall. With my love of music, I started to expand my tool belt as a multi instrumentalist. I enjoy teaching classical music because it provides a solid foundation for all other styles. Read More

Instruments: Violin, Viola, Recorder, Fiddle

My goal is for students to love playing their instrument so much after every lesson that they are motivated to keep working on concepts outside of their lesson time. Thus far, all of my private lesson students practice outside of their lessons, and I hope to keep it that way! I believe that all students are capable of learning music regardless of preconceived notions about talent level. I understand that people have busy schedules, but I expect them to make some time to practice outside of lessons even if it is only for 10 or 20 minutes per day. Read More
