Violin lessons overview

My personalized approach to violin lessons blends empathy, creativity, and theory integration to create an engaging learning environment. I prioritize ear training and tailor each lesson to suit the individual student's needs, whether focusing on classical violin or fiddle styles. I leverage a range of tech tools like DAWs, metronome apps, and virtual violin apps to enhance the learning experience. By following established curricula such as A-Levels, AP Program, or IB standards, I ensure a comprehensive educational journey. With a focus on small groups of less than 10 students at school, college, or adult/professional levels, I provide personalized tutoring that fosters gradual improvement and a deep understanding of violin techniques and music theory.

Short and structured violin lessons in Woodlandsand plenty of encouragement turned practice into something fun. That’s how Micah Hans helped our child with ADHD fall in love with violin.

I hadn’t enjoyed playing in a long time but Micah helped me fall in love with the violin again. his singing lessons are relaxed and focused which is just what I needed to fix my bowing and improve my sound.
