Work with a UH Manoa graduate offering dynamic violin and fiddle lessons across styles

I'm Nia Aldenbrook, a seasoned violin tutor with over 15 years of experience and a Masters degree in music. My specialty lies in teaching violin and fiddle to students at all levels, from school to college and even adult and professional musicians. I excel in various aspects such as bow techniques, ear training, music theory, and more. My approach to lessons is deeply personalized, ensuring that each student's unique learning style and goals are met. I focus on not just technical proficiency but also nurturing a genuine passion for music. By infusing creativity and real-life examples into my teaching, I make each lesson engaging and practical. Beyond violin, I also cover music theory, ear training, and sight-reading, offering a comprehensive musical education. My ultimate aim is to inspire my students and provide them with the guidance they need to unlock their full potential in music. Embark on this musical journey with me and let's create harmonious melodies together!

My personalized approach to violin lessons is centered around enhancing technique, sight-reading skills, and fostering expressive musicality through creativity. I leverage a variety of tech tools like DAWs, metronome apps, and virtual violin apps to create interactive online learning experiences. I follow diverse curricula such as A-Levels, AP, IB, and more to cater to students at all levels from school to adult/professional. With a focus on individual attention for small groups, I ensure each student, whether learning violin or fiddle, receives tailored guidance to excel in their musical journey.
