Join engaging violin sessions led by a University of Arkansas graduate with a modern teaching approach

With a Master's degree in music and over 5 years of experience, I am Yara Merrivale, your dedicated violin tutor. Specializing in bow techniques, ear training, and music theory, I offer lessons tailored to your skill level and musical aspirations. From school students to working professionals, I cater to all levels, ensuring a personalized learning journey. Whether you're into classical, jazz, or fiddle violin, I cover it all. Let's dive into the world of violin together and unlock your musical potential!

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.
