Instruments: Violin
I use the Suzuki method as well as the Doflein method books, and will choose other specific methods depending on what else the student would like to learn and what will help develop style,technique, and musicality. We will also have fun with seasonal and holiday music. Playing the violin is not about burying your head in a piece of music and learning just for memorization. It's about having fun, enjoying the music, making it musical, and most of all, loving what you are doing. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Fiddle
My teaching style is completely dependent on the needs and goals of the student. However, the structure of all my lessons are similar. Half of each lesson will be dedicated to technique and half of the lesson will be dedicated to a piece/tune that the student has chosen and wants to work on. I structure my lessons this way so that way the student has agency in their own learning and can learn the things they want to learn, while also building a strong technical foundation Read More
Instruments: Violin Bass Guitar
Typically for beginning students, I like to introduce students to basic theory such as reading music and understanding chord structure. My teaching styles for bass and violin vary widely. For violin students, I typically like to focus on developing their technique so that they are able to have a good foundation for playing in the future. For bass students, I like to focus on developing their ear early on so that they are able to be very versatile in their playing and be able to adapt to the genre they are playing. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
In order to practice effectively, there are three keys. First, it's crucial to find a time and space where you can be focused and comfortable. This means finding a place that is free of distractions and deciding what amount of practice time suits you best. Some students learn better in short stints spread out over time, while others like to set aside an hour or two to dive deeply into their practice. Find your balance! Second, it is vital to both warm up and take small breaks. Warming up might include scales or other technical practices for your voice or instrument, and small breaks could include drinking some water and stretching. Finally, it is vital to identify your biggest areas of difficulty and to focus on these during your practice session. It is common to want to practice things you already know and are comfortable playing, but true growth will only come from focusing on the sections of music or techniques that don't come easily. Your teacher can help you identify what these areas of difficulty are, and can help hone in on the exercises and pieces of music that will most help you practice these things!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Everyone has a unique timeline and is ready to start lessons at a different time. For children, the most important criteria is that they have a personal passion to start their music lessons. Second, it is important that the child is capable of sitting and focusing for about 30 minutes at a time. This is crucial not only for the lesson environment, but also so that they are able to focus on practicing between lessons. For very young children, it is important that the guardian is able to sit in on lessons and be a resource to the child at home in terms of encouraging focused practiced and reviewing basic techniques from the lesson.
When will I start to see results?
Everyone grows at a different rate, but results come in different forms. For a beginner, a clear result can be evident after a few weeks upon completing a first melody or small assignment. Other results, like precise intonation and technique, occur slowly over time and can be sensed over the course of months or years. My favorite way to track progress is to record my practice, recitals, or lessons (if both the teacher and student are comfortable with this) so that I can go back and listen to where I came from down the line.

I've never played an instrument, I can't read music, I can't sing, and I don't know if I can even learn but I am interested in trying to learn to play the violin.

I am looking for a violin tutor. I am already at a pretty good level but I know I can be better with some help. I want to be good enough to audition for universities.

I'd like to learn the violin. I don't have any experience with it, but I played flute as a kid so picking up reading music shouldn't be especially difficult.
