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 strive to continue to learn as a teacher.

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. I provide families with practice binders with clear practice assignments & activities.

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 more advanced students taking 45 minute or 1 hour long lessons.
