Violin lessons overview

My approach to delivering violin lessons is rooted in empathy, expressive musicality, and progressive instruction. I prioritize open communication with students to grasp their aspirations and adapt teaching methods to suit their unique learning preferences. By integrating performance coaching and music theory, I foster a comprehensive musical education that goes beyond technical skills. I leverage an array of tech tools like DAWs, metronome apps, and virtual violin platforms to make online learning engaging and interactive. Following diverse curricula such as A-Levels and AP Programs, I cater to students at all levels, from school to adult and professional musicians, ensuring a tailored and enriching personalized tutoring experience for each individual.

I started lessons with Elmwood in Downtown Bakersfield without any background in string instruments and feeling pretty anxious. Her supportive teaching style helped me build a solid foundation she guided me through posture basics, introduced me to the Suzuki method, and always offered thoughtful, encouraging feedback.

I really enjoy my violin lessons! Elmwood makes learning fun and helps me fix mistakes without making me feel bad. I’ve gotten better at reading sheet music and playing with good posture.

My daughter had a tough time moving from viola back to violin, but Elmwood made the transition so much smoother with her clear understanding of finger spacing and clef reading, things started to click. Now my daughter’s feeling proud and excited as she gets ready for her high school orchestra concert.

Elmwood focuses on improving my technique, but she is always encouraging and makes me feel comfortable. she never makes me nervous, and her positive attitude helps me stay confident. Thanks to her support, I feel more motivated to learn and practice. she explains things clearly, and I can see myself improving. I’m really grateful for her help and the way she makes learning enjoyable and less stressful.
