Violin lessons overview
My approach to violin lessons is a fusion of expressive musicality, theory integration, and empathetic guidance. I believe in progressively building skills through creative and engaging instruction. Using a variety of tech tools like DAWs, ear training software, and virtual violin apps, I tailor each session to the student's needs. I follow diverse curricula such as A-Levels, IB, and AP programs to ensure a comprehensive learning experience. With a focus on personalized tutoring, I cater to a small audience of less than 10 students across school, college, and adult/professional levels. Through interactive lessons, I aim to nurture a deep love for the violin while honing technical proficiency and musical understanding.
