Violin Lessons in New Baltimore, VA

Instruments: Violin Viola

Guiding students towards a profound love for the violin and viola is at the core of my teaching philosophy. I firmly believe that instilling a sense of discipline and regularity in practice lays the foundation for success, especially for younger students. My approach harmoniously blends classical and contemporary music to engage and motivate learners. After all, if students aren't reveling in their lessons, my mission remains incomplete. In addition to honing their instrumental skills, I encourage my students to participate in competitions and recitals, fostering a sense of accomplishment and motivation. Read More

I have a customized approach to instruction that keeps pace with the student's skill level and ability. Goal setting is an important activity that I use to sustain interest and encouragement.

I like to incorporate contemporary music into the lesson so that my students can see that the violin can be used widely in various musical genre. Read More
