Violin lessons overview
My personalized violin lessons aim to create an immersive and transformative learning experience. By intertwining empathy, creativity, and engaging techniques, I nurture a deep connection between students and the violin. Integrating theory seamlessly, I guide students through classical and acoustic violin techniques, fostering both technical proficiency and musical expression. Utilizing a range of tech tools like DAWs, ear training software, and virtual violin apps, I bring a modern edge to traditional teaching methods. This blend of old and new enhances student engagement and understanding. Following diverse curricula like A-Levels, AP Programs, and IB, I ensure a comprehensive educational journey tailored to individual needs. With a focus on performance coaching, I help students unleash their full potential, preparing them for school exams, college auditions, or professional performances. Whether teaching a school student or an adult beginner, I adapt to each student's pace and style, ensuring a supportive and motivating environment. My aim is to instill a love for music that lasts a lifetime and to equip students with the skills needed to excel at any level.

I am an adult beginner from Springfield and Hensleigh violin classes helped me build my confidence. She was patient with me and encouraged me to learn and practice everyday. Her techniques are easy to remember and fun at the same time not making it a burden for me at all!

The calm seaside studio set of Hensleigh Richard's at Carolina Beach provides a peaceful space, for my daughter to learn to play slowly and expressively and also developing a richer tone which even her conductor of the orchestra noticed. I could'nt be happier with the progress!

The lessons of Hensleigh fostered collaboration and strengthened my daughter’s sense of rhythm. She once preferred playing solo but with her guidance in ensemble work she now shines as part of her quartet.

Under Hensleigh guidance in Carpenter, her teen student played in the statewide youth orchestra after just nine months of lessons and that is proof that a balanced approach works wonders! I not only learnt but also excelled in scales sight reading and phrasing with Hensleigh violin lessons!

Hensleigh really helped me fix things I didn’t even notice like my posture and how I held the bow. Thanks to her, my playing feels smoother and sounds better, and I’ve actually started enjoying practice again.
