Violin lessons overview

My approach to tutoring violin and acoustic violin blends performance coaching, theory integration, empathy, and engaging sight-reading techniques. I personalize each lesson to cater to the unique needs and goals of my students, keeping them motivated and excited about learning. Using a range of tech tools such as DAWs, ear training software, and virtual violin apps, I create interactive lessons that enhance the learning experience. I follow a diverse curriculum including A-Levels, AP Program, and IB, ensuring comprehensive skill development. Working with small groups of less than 10 students at school, college, or professional levels, I aim to foster a supportive and encouraging environment that nurtures musical growth and proficiency.

Pushing technique and supporting my growth made the difference for my scholarship audition. Ellington ’s advanced vibrato coaching helped me refine my sound and I got in and I will highly recommend her violin classes in Downtown Wilmington.

Preparing a solo with double stops which was a completely new challenge for me became much easier with Ellington ’s guidance. She shared proper structured methods and techniques which helped a lot.
