After trying several teachers in North Scottsdale, we finally found someone who truly understood my daughter’s youth orchestra goals and, by focusing on tone, tuning, and scales, helped her walk into her audition with confidence and walk out selected and smiling.Credits to Dawson Violin lessons

Music hadn’t been part of my life for two decades but Dawson ’s energy and her lessons in Downtown Fayetteville changed that. We eased into etudes and bowing exercises, and now I honestly look forward to practicing every single day.

Thanks to Dawson organized method of teaching how to play violin. My previously messy playing evolved into a smooth and confident technique in just a few months of dedicated practice.

Watching my son’s confidence and skill blossom as both a vocalist and performer through Dawson ’s inspiring violin lessons at her Carmel studio has been truly rewarding.

My violin tutor Dawson has brought a fundamental transformation. Her focus on essential techniques, particularly through the use of sustained notes and gradual scale practice, has dramatically improved my pitch accuracy. My instrument now resonates with a purer sound, and I've gained a real grasp of managing bow weight and velocity.

Because of Dawson ’s fantastic violin lesson, I was finally ready to take the plunge and audition for an orchestra, a dream I had held onto for so long and I got in!

It's been years since I have been playing violin, but I never knew that music too needs feelings, and since the date I have started taking classes from Dawson , I have seen a drastic change in my approach towards the violin. She is magcian I must say.
