My personalized tutoring approach for violin lessons integrates creativity, theory, sight-reading, and technique. I use a range of tech tools like DAWs, metronome apps, and virtual violin apps to offer interactive online learning experiences. I cater to students at all levels, including school, college, and adult/professional learners, ensuring individualized attention in small groups of less than 10. I follow diverse curricula such as A-Levels, IB, AP Program, and more. By fostering empathy and focusing on technique, I create a supportive environment where students can grow and excel in classical, electric, acoustic, or fiddle violin styles. Through positive reinforcement and tailored guidance in music theory and performance techniques, I aim to make the lessons enjoyable and rewarding, nurturing a deep passion for playing the violin.
