About the lesson

I believe that learning how to play the violin is about more than hammering away countless hours of practice. The well-rounded musician of today absolutely must have a basic understanding of sustainable technique, music history, and music literacy as far as these can be applied to the player’s personal goals. As they practice and apply what they’ve learned in their lessons, each week my students are becoming stronger, more independent players. In this way, their daily practice and weekly lesson help them blossom into musicians with a lifelong love of playing the violin, and each new page of music presents a new adventure to take up.

No matter what, I seek to meet my students where they are and set them up for success. I do this through:

-strengthening awareness of the violin & bow
-educating about both shoulder rest and non-shoulder rest techniques
-cultivating better intonation
-helping students tap into the natural resonance of the instrument
-exploring different bow holds
-if needed, use the lesson time to provide a guided practice session
