...Or maybe you want to learn yourself! Regardless, my philosophy is that ANYONE can learn to play the violin with practice and proper guidance. I have taught students from ages 5 to 70, and I especially love working with beginners - there's so much to discover! I am currently available for lessons directly through my contact page, or you can find me through Creative Music Lessons or the Purple Deer Music Academy in Fairfield. I am also available for online lessons. 

​

My teaching method emphasizes learning Music Theory and Ear Training simultaneously to help students gain a well-rounded understanding of their instrument. This means that, while we are working on skills such as note-reading, we will also engage in "call-and-response" exercises to help students learn musical phrases "by ear". I encourage students to cultivate strong classical technique while still studying other genres that may capture their interest. We will also work with the music you/your student enjoys listening to through transcription and ear training exercises.

Not certain if you're ready to commit to long-term lessons? Let's set up a shorter demo lesson for a reduced rate and we can see if this will be a good fit.
