About your violin teacher

I'm Jolene Larkspur, a Master's degree holder with over 2 years of experience offering specialized violin lessons. My focus is on college students, but I welcome learners of all levels, from school-age to adult professionals. In my lessons, I dive deep into bow techniques, ear training, music theory, and more, ensuring a comprehensive learning experience. I pay close attention to finger placement, posture, and hand positioning to help students master the violin with ease. Through personalized learning, I tailor each session to your needs, using techniques like sight-reading, scales, and arpeggios to enhance your skills. I prioritize creating a supportive and collaborative atmosphere where students can flourish. Let's explore the world of violin together, whether you're delving into classical melodies, jazz rhythms, or the soulful sounds of an acoustic violin. Unleash your musical potential with me by your side every step of the way!

Violin lessons overview

My personalized approach to teaching violin focuses on fostering creativity, enhancing ear training, and providing engaging and progressive instruction. I create a supportive environment where students feel encouraged to explore and make mistakes, fostering growth. By understanding each student's strengths and areas for improvement, I tailor lessons to their unique needs, ensuring effective learning and skill development. I emphasize performance coaching to help students set and achieve their musical goals. Alongside violin, I offer lessons in Classical, Jazz, and Acoustic Violin, expanding students' musical horizons. Utilizing tech tools like DAWs, Ear Training Software, and Virtual Violin Apps enhances interactive learning experiences. I follow diverse curricula such as A-Levels, AP Program, and IB, catering to school, college, and adult/professional learners at all levels. With a focus on positivity and accountability, I support students in honing their musical talents and achieving success in their violin journey.
