Colin - Violin teacher

I’m Colin Cogar and i am from Chicago, Illinois and I have been playing the violin for 10 years and i had started to do violin tutor 2 years ago. I can work with beginners, intermedite, and advenced students. I am also in school for my music education degree where I am part of the string ensemble. My specialites include Bow Techniques, Ear training, music theory, sight reading, finger placement, vibrato techniques, and rhythm patterns. When i teach students, they come to a nice, peaceful, and engaging enviroment. I'm super passionate about the violin and music in general, and I think that enthusiasm is contagious. Learning an instrument can be tough, but I'm all about making it fun and engaging. I don't just drill scales; I want you to love playing and understand the music you're making. Everyone learns differently, and I'm good at figuring out what clicks for you. Whether you're a total beginner or have some experience, I'll create a personalized plan to help you reach your goals, whether that's acing your school orchestra audition or just being able to play your favorite song. I'm patient and supportive. I'll provide constructive feedback, celebrate your progress, and create a positive learning environment where you feel comfortable taking risks and asking questions. Let's make some beautiful music together!
