Violin lessons overview

My personalized approach to teaching violin blends technical focus, empathy, and expressive musicality to create engaging and effective lessons. I incorporate sight-reading and progressive instruction to help students develop comprehensive skills. By using real-life examples and practical applications, I make learning relatable and enjoyable, fostering a deeper understanding of violin techniques. I adapt each lesson to the student's pace, ensuring a supportive and confidence-building learning environment. I emphasize open communication, encouraging questions and discussions to address challenges effectively. In addition to violin, I cover Jazz, Electric, Baroque, and Student Violin, along with music theory and sight-reading. I leverage tech tools like DAWs, metronome apps, and virtual violin apps to enhance interactive learning experiences. My curriculum aligns with various standards like A-Levels, AP Program, IB, and others, catering to students at school, college, and adult/professional levels in small class settings.

Fairmont lessons are clear, interactive, and just as effective as in-person. I get personalized feedback, and the screen-sharing and live demos are super helpful. It's convenient, flexible, and I’ve made real progress from home.

Breathing and mindfulness were exactly what my anxious teen needed and Fairmont brought both into every lesson. It’s been a game changer now she’s playing expressive pieces with way more focus and confidence.

Taking violin lessons with Fairmont in SoMa has been a wonderful experience. We have lessons every week in her cozy and friendly studio. Fairmont combines classical violin with modern movie music, which makes learning fun and interesting. Her approach keeps me excited and motivated to improve. I really enjoy my lessons and look forward to each one. It's a great way to learn violin and have fun at the same time.

As an adult beginner in Sparr Heights, I was nervous about starting violin but Fairmont made it so much fun. Her patience and humor turn my postwork lessons into the highlight of my week. Never thought I’d look forward to screechy scales!
