Violin Lessons in Foothill Ranch, CA

Instruments: Violin

I'm currently accepting students of all ability levels, so my methods will be vastly different from beginner to advanced. For beginners, we start at the very beginning, learn how to hold the instrument and bow.

For beginning students that have already been studying through a school program or are already working with instructional material, I am more than happy to jump in and tailor my instruction accordingly. For students that have no musical background whatsoever, I can supply materials as I see fit, given the disposition of the student. Also, I am happy to create custom lesson plans (etudes and short studies) to meet the specific needs of novice students in an effort to increase the enjoyment and efficiency of the learning process.
