Viola Lessons in Clinton, OH

Instruments: Violin Cello Viola Trombone Double Bass

Instruments: Violin Viola

I started teaching private lessons when I was in high school and continued throughout my time in college and beyond. I have taught beginners of all ages as well as more advanced students, and have led group classes. I bring all my love for music to the lesson, and practice empathy and kindness with my students. I encourage regular, healthy practice and celebrate student accomplishments. I encourage my students to audition, attend competitions, and perform in recitals. Read More
