Violin lessons overview
My personalized approach to teaching violin is centered around creating a supportive and engaging environment that fosters motivation and growth in each of my students. I believe in tailoring lessons to the unique learning styles and preferences of each individual, focusing on building a strong technical foundation while also encouraging creativity and self-expression. By incorporating empathetic and progressive instruction, I guide students through the technical and expressive aspects of playing the violin, making the learning process enjoyable and fulfilling. In each lesson, I utilize a variety of tech tools such as DAWs, ear training software, and virtual violin apps to enhance the learning experience. These tools help in improving technique, ear training, and overall musical understanding. I follow a curriculum that aligns with various educational standards like A-Levels, AP Program, IB, and others to ensure a comprehensive learning journey for my students. With a focus on technique, ear training, and a repertoire spanning classical, jazz, electric, and other violin styles, I cater to a diverse audience of less than 10 students at school, college, and all levels, including adults and professionals. My engaging and technique-focused approach, combined with the use of interactive tools, empowers students to progress steadily, develop their musical skills, and cultivate a deep love for playing the violin.

Dunsworth introduced my middle schooler to violin in the jazz manner.They practice short swing duets and improvisation and she has never been more eager to practice.

In North Beach, Dunsworth has been an amazing teacher for my 8 year old. She finds the perfect balance between fun and discipline, which keeps my daughter both excited and focused during lessons. As for me, I’ve been learning violin on and off for years, but it wasn’t until I started lessons with Reid Harmon in Castro that everything finally clicked.

Hearing real melodies come from my son’s violin is such a relief. Dunsworth had her doing bowing games and little intonation tricks that actually worked. she’s way more accurate now then she was before when I used to teach her.

My son's attitude was totally transformed by Dunsworth violin lessons at Brookdale.From apprehensive novice to joyfully rehearsing authentic tunes daily.
