Violin lessons overview

My approach to violin lessons is a fusion of personalized tutoring, innovative teaching techniques, and a strong focus on technique and creativity. I tailor each session to cater to the unique learning style of every student, blending structured instruction with room for musical exploration. I emphasize mastering fundamentals like bowing, finger placement, and rhythm while integrating music theory and ear training seamlessly into the curriculum. Through the use of digital audio workstations, ear training software, and interactive fingerboard apps, I ensure an engaging and effective online learning experience. By following recognized curricula such as A-Levels, AP Program, and IB, I provide a comprehensive educational framework. My students, typically fewer than 10 in number, range from school to college levels, including adults and professionals, ensuring a diverse and engaging learning environment.

Crestfield ’s lessons in Canyon Crest offer the ideal mix of excitement and effective learning. She makes tough techniques easy to grasp. By focusing on musical expression, she’s helped me find my personal style while also improving my rhythm and precision. I’ve gone from being a nervous beginner to someone who looks forward to every practice.

All State auditions prep felt impossible until my teen’s violin tutor Crestfield Philips stepped in. The way she taught musical storytelling and phrasing to my teen was commendable. Crestfield was very patient and taught her advanced bowing techniques which helped her during her auditions. Thank you Crestfield for your help.
