My personalized tutoring approach is tailored to ensure that each student progresses at their own pace, offering expressive musicality, sight reading, and technique-focused lessons in violin. With a blend of classical, jazz, electric, and fiddle violin styles, I use a mix of tech tools like DAWs, metronome apps, and virtual violin apps to create interactive lessons. By following diverse curricula like A-Levels, AP Program, and IB, I cater to school, college, and adult learners. With a student-centered focus, I foster a collaborative environment where students actively engage, ask questions, and participate in their learning journey, making lessons exciting and aligned with individual goals.

I tried learning violin online but wasn't getting far, so I joined Vancroft ’s in-person lessons in The Oaks, and it completely transformed my playing. She taught me bow control techniques that instantly enhanced my sound. We also focused on ear tuning, which helped me finally understand what "intonation" is. Each lesson builds on the last, and Vancroft takes the time to explain not just how to play, but why it's important. I'm so grateful for her support every week.

Walking into Vancroft ’s class felt calming right away. She gave me vocal warm ups which I still use before gigs. With her violi lessos in Raleigh I really started trusting my own sound.

I’ve been learning violin on and off for years, but it wasn’t until I started lessons with Vancroft in Castro that everything finally made sense. Vancroft has a special way of explaining difficult techniques like shifting and vibrato that no other teacher has. she makes complicated things much easier to understand, and I’ve finally started to make real progress. her teaching has made a big difference in my playing.
