Violin lessons overview

My approach to violin lessons centers on fostering a supportive and enriching learning environment where students thrive. I emphasize ear training, technique mastery, and progressive instruction while also integrating sight-reading skills. I tailor personalized lessons in classical, jazz, electric, fiddle, and student violin for a small audience of less than 10 students. My tech-savvy teaching involves using various tools like DAWs, ear training software, metronome apps, and virtual violin apps to enhance the learning experience. I follow a diverse curriculum, including A-Levels, AP Program, IB, and more, catering to students at school, college, and adult/professional levels. My strength lies in empathetic teaching, clear communication, and goal-oriented feedback, nurturing not only musical abilities but also a deep passion for learning and performance.
