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.

Teens genuinely grow under Zander ’s guidance and his way of teaching just clicks with them. One student even wrote a violin and viola duet after learning key changes in class, which really shows how inspiring his lessons are.

My son started violin lessons with Zander in Tenderloin after struggling to stay focused in other music classes. Zander ’s calm and personal teaching style really helped him learn rhythm and stay on track. He focuses on classical music but also allows students to choose some songs, which keeps my son engaged and motivated.

As a beginner adult learning violin in Menlo park, I gained confidence and improved my bowing technique thanks to Zander ’s guidance on pressure and arm movement.

At 45 I never thought I could begin learning violin but Zander lessons in Old Farm proved me wrong. With his patient approach and constant support what once felt impossible has now become a rewarding and joyful part of my life.
