Violin Lessons in Stanley, NC

Instruments: Violin Viola

I first started tutoring younger students in violin when I was in high school, but after graduating from college I took on an instruction position at a local music school as Strings Instructor. There, I began teaching much younger students using mutli-sensory techniques to keep my students engaged and most importantly, having fun! The best part about being a teacher is watching my students grow as musicians and having their individual input on the music and what they want to learn. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to the beginning of my studies during my Bachelor degree. I started as a Music Education major but soon realized I wanted to spend more time practicing my violin and focusing on performing. Encouraging practice on a consistent schedule is a key aspect to playing an instrument--as a teacher, I like to help my students develop a practice schedule and you can expect our time together to be spent learning not only how to play the violin/viola but learning how to practice our instrument.

For beginning students, I start with the Essential Elements book. If the student has already taken lessons or is in their school band/orchestra, I encourage moving onto the Rubank Elementary, Intermediate, and Advanced method books depending on ability. Once a student has proven that they are able to handle it, I will start on solo repertoire. Particularly for college-bound musicians who wish to major in music, the majority of their lessons will be based on preparing solo literature for All District or college auditions. Read More
