Violin Lessons in Riverton, UT

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

Instruments: Violin

While still in high school, I discovered that I love watching others realize their own musical potential. I began with tutoring my peers and enjoyed it enough to take on students of my own. My teaching had to take a pause during my college years, but I have been looking forward to the freedom to teach again! I try to help my students feel comfortable with themselves and their abilities because it can be frustrating to not understand a concept immediately or progress as quickly as others, and I want them to enjoy the music while they're playing rather than comparing themselves to others.

Instruments: Violin Viola

I have learned a lot from my previous teachers and mentors and hope to use their effective teaching styles to teach my own students. 1 lesson per week is a great amount. Keeping a music to-do list or music journal is great for organization. Scales and etudes build strength, intonation, and are a great and crucial warm up for exciting repertoire. All scale books are great, and half the time, you don't even need.a book! Read More

Instruments: Violin Viola

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

I started teaching over ten years ago. I have taught several amazing violin and piano students ages 4-16 over the years. In my experience, I've found that the Suzuki Violin method books work very well for private lessons but can teach other methods. I have a degree in violin performance and play the piano as well. I've also taught 4th-12th grade orchestra in Arizona and Utah. Please contact me to have a trial lesson for yourself or your child. Read More

Instruments: Piano Violin Keyboard

I love teaching piano and violin lessons to students of all ages from beginner to upper intermediate levels. I studied piano performance with Robert Smith and violin performance with Percy Kalt at BYU; I have also studied with Jeffrey Shumway, former Head of Keyboard Studies, BYU and Carroll Meyer, Boise State University. These wonderful teachers guided and inspired me to attain and pass on classical technique and style to the next generation of musicians. Read More
