Hands-on approach to violin learning

Each lesson includes playing and review/discussion

Violin lessons overview

My personalized tutoring approach for violin lessons combines theory integration, performance coaching, and engaging techniques. I focus on developing strong technical skills, ear training, and fostering a deep connection to music. I use a variety of tech tools such as DAWs, metronome apps, and virtual violin apps to enhance the learning experience. Following curriculum standards like A-Levels (UK) and IB ensures a comprehensive educational journey. With a small group of students, including school, college, and adult learners, I provide individualized attention to cater to all levels of proficiency. My methodology promotes efficient practice routines, self-awareness through critical listening, and consistent feedback to drive continuous improvement and success in playing the violin.

The violin lessons with Denholm was for my teenage daughter. Denholm gives her students the freedom to choose the pieces they want for learn but still focusing on the techniques and strengthening them. My daughter is now able to compose small tunes all by herself and Denholm has genuinely helped her fall in love with music. Thank you Denholm for everything!

Despite her love of music, my son struggled with coordination. Denholm gradually increased her confidence by breaking down bowing routines into basic motions. After every lesson in South Bend, she smiles with delight
