Violin Lessons in Norene, TN

Instruments: Violin Bass Guitar

I enjoy seeing my students having fun while playing music. My hope is to enable all my students to be able to get to a point where they are enjoying their own playing. I try to be very understanding as a teacher and establish a genuine relationship with my students so later down the line, I'm not only a music instructor to them but also a mentor they can come to in times of need.

For beginning students I generally use the Suzuki books and have had some training in the method. I don't use a strict Suzuki method but combine it with a more traditional approach by including note reading, scales, etc. I also use the Faber books in conjunction with the Suzuki for piano. For adults I generally give them the option of choosing the music they would like to learn and then try to incorporate some of the technical elements by using scales and Hanon exercises. Read More

Instruments: Piano Violin Cello Viola

I like to begin each lesson with a warm up to get the mind and fingers working together. From there we will focus on building technique, musicality, and theory knowledge while focusing on cello repertoire. To end each lesson, we'll break out something fun whether that means learning a new pop song, jazz piece, or playing a cello duet. My lessons can be structured based on the students needs and meeting their long term or short term goals. Read More

I have taught many adults including those who use the teachings for mobility and enjoyment. Read More

My teaching style is relaxed, but determined. I want lessons to be fun and inspirational rather than scary and demoralizing. You should look forward to your lesson each week and come away from it feeling inspired to work harder and check out some great recordings. Read More
