Lesson Information

I teach from the beginning using the Suzuki Method and principles which emphasizes developing students’ characters, learning musical language through listening, and involving the parent as a partner in practicing. I have completed training in Suzuki Books 1,2 & 3 and am currently taking training in Kaleidoscopes Book 1.

Once the students are more advanced, supplemental repertoire is added as needed. I am also happy to work towards a goal of learning a piece or song the student loves. Learning music should be enjoyable!

Practicing musical skills consistently is the best way to improve on the violin and gain motivation from seeing progress. Students’ health while playing is important to me. I have taken Rolland training to gain knowledge about how to teach violin in a balanced manner.

Recommended lesson times depend on age and skill level. The most common starting lesson time is 30 minutes, with older and advanced students taking 45 minute or 1 hour long lessons.
