Violin lessons overview

My personalized tutoring approach integrates music theory, creativity, and empathy to deliver engaging and effective lessons. With a focus on violin, I cover a wide range of styles from classical to jazz, electric to acoustic, ensuring a comprehensive learning experience. I leverage tech tools like DAWs, metronome apps, and virtual violin apps to create interactive lessons that enhance musical understanding and ear training. By following diverse curricula such as A-Levels, AP Programs, and IB, I tailor lessons to meet individual student needs across school, college, and adult levels. With a student-centered methodology, I nurture expressive musicality, foster a supportive learning environment, and encourage students to progress at their own pace, ultimately inspiring a deep love for music and violin playing.

Posture and bow technique were the things my son struggled with until Montclair stepped in. she’s now working on her first graded exam and actually feels ready and all thanks to Montclair violin lessons in Arran Hills.

After a decade away from the violin, my self-assurance had waned, but Montclair was instrumental in its return. She thoughtfully restarted my musical journey with well-known tunes and incorporated drills to revive ingrained physical skills. Her approachable manner and emphasis on releasing tension in my hands made rediscovering the joy of playing effortless.

Every session with Montclair is worth every penny! She taught my daughter how to be disciplined with her violin practices and that really made a lot of difference. She really has brought positive changes in her attitude.

Under Montclair ’s mentorship at Bunker Hill, I finally mustered the confidence to perform by myself. Her violin lessons were a big part of helping me get over my stage fright.
