Violin Lessons Southwest

Instruments: Violin, Viola

I have been teaching since my late high school years. I have taught various private lessons part time in the Houston area and aided some of my teachers in teaching 5th grade strings. When I entered college, I started teaching middle school students privately in the Waco area and teaching general music education in Baylor's OsoMusical program for special needs children. I love seeing the interesting ties between elementary and secondary music education and the impact of the basic foundations of music! Read More

Instruments: Violin, Cello, Viola, Double Bass, Music

My teaching style would probably be classified as Classical. I do teach music reading as a foundation of most of my instruction, however I also work with students who learn better by rote. I take pride in being flexible in my instruction. I do teach from the beginning on how to read music with focus on foundational posture and instrument position. Once that is solid, there is no limit to the students progress. Read More

Instruments: Voice, Violin, Viola, Fiddle

I've performed in several orchestras at the college level and competed in a variety of fiddle contests throughout the state of Texas, most recently the Fiddler's Frolics in Hallettsville, Texas. I have been a volunteer after-school violin instructor in the Houston Independent School District (Roosevelt Elementary, Gallegos Elementary, and Martinez Elementary) and local Jewish community centers. I'm also very active in the Houston opera and theater communities and have performed in nearly a dozen productions in the area, often in small accompanying orchestras and as a soprano and/or actress.

In 2012, I graduated from The Peabody Conservatory with a Bachelor of Music degree in Violin performance with Ms.Violaine Melancon. I also earned a Masters of Music degree in Violin performance/Peadagody with Mr.Herbert Greenberg in 2012. As a violinist, it is an incredible experience to perform on the stage and gets applause from the audiences. I wanted to share that experiences with students so decided to teach more students.

I want my students to have fun, but to also engage in very structured learning. All students must find time to practice during the week, but the parents must be a huge part of helping their child learn this new instrument. We will set weekly, realistic goals for each lesson. During the lesson, we will review the last concept that was learned, go over the lesson for the day and then create a lesson for the following week and be sure that each lesson is explained and understood.
