Violin Lessons in Elko, MN

Instruments: Violin Viola

I love watching students succeed and learn the viola or violin! This is why we go by the student's pace and work with their ability. I require a notebook or binder for me to record what the student will need to work on for the following lesson, which helps them remember what they're assigned, as well as keeping them accountable about expectations. (And it helps me to remember!) Accomplishments will always be acknowledged, as well as constructive comments about what needs to be improved both technically and musically. Read More

Instruments: Violin Cello Viola

I was born into a family of string teachers. My father was a conductor and cellist and also played violin. My mother was a violinist and my brother.
