Violin lessons overview

My personalized tutoring approach is designed to create a supportive and engaging learning environment where students can truly excel in their violin and fiddle lessons. I focus on empathy, creativity, and expressive musicality to connect with students on a deeper level. By incorporating ear training, sight-reading, and creativity, I ensure a well-rounded musical education. I utilize a variety of tech tools like DAWs, fingerboard chart apps, and metronome apps to make online learning interactive and effective. Through orchestral accompaniments and virtual violin apps, I enhance the learning experience, making it both educational and enjoyable. Additionally, I follow diverse curricula such as A-Levels, AP Program, IB, and more to cater to the unique needs of each student. With a small class size of less than 10 students, I provide personalized attention to individuals at school, college, and adult/professional levels. My methodology strengths lie in fostering creativity, building strong foundational skills, and instilling a passion for music that lasts a lifetime. I aim to inspire and guide students to reach their full potential, both as musicians and individuals.

My 12-year-old was a keen music lover, but I never knew until she took lessons with Lynford at Downtown Naperville. Learning the violin not only helped her to understand music but also made her more confident.

Starting violin lessons in North Tempe at 30 felt daunting, but with Lynford ’s patient guidance on posture and tone, I now enjoy playing simple tunes and have even joined a local adult beginners’ orchestra.
