Violin Lessons in Riverton, UT

Instruments: Piano Violin Keyboard

I approach piano and violin instruction from a foundational, constructive perspective, combined with building rapport and reciprocal clarifying communications. Essentially this means that the student and I interact to build understanding by using the familiar to grasp the unfamiliar. An example is: When teaching hand position, I use the natural position the student already has when the hand is relaxed to build the hand playing position. The student is encouraged to ask questions, to feel free to make mistakes in order to take the risks necessary for true understanding and growth, and to engage in productive discussion leading to personal clarity with regard to their playing.

I have consistently been teaching students in my home for the past 7 years and never want to stop! My goal with each student is to teach the fundamentals of the violin/viola, and especially how to practice in an organized way. I want my students to gain their own love for the instrument and be inspired daily by music. My students are required to practice daily and perform often. I want each student to walk away from lessons feeling like a better, more educated, and excited person. Read More

Instruments: Violin

Much of my approach to teaching is determined by the individual student. I want my students to be the best musicians they can be, and that does require a certain amount of pressure. To the extent that I can for each, I push my students to progress quickly. It can get boring to practice the same piece over and over without variation, so practicing is required. My goal is to let students find their own potential and their own motivation to learn. Read More

Hi! My name is Lauryn L. and I am 19. Right now I go to BYU, and I am studying Viola Performance. I started viola in 6th grade and have been playing ever since. From 10th grade to 12th grade I went to the Gifted Music School Conservatory in SLC. I graduated from there last year. I have been able to work with many professional musicians through this music school. My favorite memories from my music experience so far was playing in Abravanel Hall with the Lyceum Philharmonic Orchestra, and playing 2 outdoor concerts at Thanksgiving Point Ashton Gardens with them as well.

Instruments: Violin Cello

I teach using the Suzuki method with an added emphasis on note reading and theory. The Suzuki method is a lot more than just using the Suzuki Repertoire. (In fact, I supplement the Suzuki method with pieces my students use a lot such as Happy Birthday, Jingle Bells, some pieces from Solos for Young Cellists, etc.) So what is the Suzuki method? Suzuki revolutionized the way of learning an instrument. Read More
