Instruments: Violin Bass Guitar
I try to keep my students engaged by making games for them to play while practicing. I also like to keep my students set on a goal for a given period, I believe this motivates them to push themselves. I try to be understanding of every students circumstances, so I'm understanding if a student doesn't practice for a given week. While I would like all my students to practice, I first and foremost believe consistency is important so just keeping them on the right track is often satisfactory to me. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Viola Trumpet
I have been around music practically since I was born, as my parents were both professional musicians and our house was constantly filled with the sounds of Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert. I initially decided to study piano and violin performance but changed my focus to education and teaching. As a passionate musician, I have enjoyed playing in symphony orchestras through the years, and I've found that being part of a group of people whose purpose is to produce a beautiful work of art is one of the most enjoyable experiences one can have.

Instruments: Piano Voice Violin Fiddle
For beginners, I typically start students off with the suzuki books to build technique, but I teach them from the classical perspective rather than the suzuki method. With intermediate and advanced students, i will introduce solo repertoire appropriate for recital performance and/or a commercial piece (fiddle tunes, pop songs, etc) that the student is interested in learning. Fiddle is my specialty, but I also teach classical violin and even my fiddle students will learn classical technique. Read More
Instruments: Violin Banjo Fiddle
I'm a freelance musician living in Nashville, TN. I am passionate about teaching and specialize in Old-Time, Bluegrass, Scottish, Folk, and Classical music. I have been playing professionally since I was in High School, and I studied at Vanderbilt University under the direction of Karen Clarke (Classical) and Matt Combs (fiddle). I now perform professionally with several bands including 10 String Symphony, Oh My Darling, and under my own name. If you are looking for a relaxed and fun teacher who is open to helping your child learn multiple styles and really love music, I'm your girl! Read More
Instruments: Violin
I have been teaching for over 20 years. My students have won many awards including college scholarships and the talent portion of Ms. Tennessee. I have taught all ages and all experience levels. We all start out learning basic concepts which will give us good posture and technique, then we will move forward toward the goals you want to reach. You don't have to be young to start playing! I have taught many adults including those who use the teachings for mobility and enjoyment. Read More
Instruments: Piano Violin Cello Viola Electric Violin
For all of my students, I encourage consistent practicing of their instrument in order for them to grow and build their musical skills. Students are given scales, modern and classical pieces to practice. I find the combinations of these three things let most students see how diverse strings can be. I try to create games for my younger students so they enjoy practicing early on. I also have concerts regularly for all of my students who are able to attend. 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.
Nomvula
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.
courtney
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.
