    Online Lessons: Viola, Violin Beginner-Advanced, Cello beginner-Intermediate (multiple styles)

    I have taught music lessons at all levels, but I am especially talented at helping beginner or intermediate students to master their skills of holding the instrument in such a way as to play without pain and therefore get a more beautiful sound out of the instrument. I have taught ages 5-adult and at one time had a private lessons studio in the US of 50 students per year. And I have taught hundreds of students through all my work in the schools.
    With viola performance and teacher certification degrees, I have worked in public and private schools in the US, India, and Sweden for more than 20 years, creating community and empowering people with music.

    While I was living in the Seattle area, my orchestra programs were recognized as among the top in Washington state. I was invited to judge solo and ensemble competitions in the area and be a guest teacher with other prominent orchestras. I had many students win regional competitions and perform in Washington All-State Orchestra and All-Northwest orchestras. I sing, write and arrange music that has been performed for school events, culture festivals, regional church conference, and the 2013 USA national church conference for Community of Christ.

    I moved from the US to Sweden in 2015, and live with my Swedish husband and our child. We enjoy sharing our love of jazz and classical music and dancing lindy hop and balboa.

    About Me

    I help students gain confidence through doing things in a step by step method where one skill builds on the next. And I teach with an emphasis on a relaxed manner of playing so that you can make playing a stringed instrument enjoyable.

    I love to work with beginners and I also have the playing skills to teach even the most advanced students.Viola is my main instrument, but I also play violin on a high level. I can teach cello in the beginning to intermediate level.
    I will meet students where they are and take them to the next level. I will always greet students warmly regardless of if they have had a chance to practice this week or not, I work from a place of inspiration, not intimidation.

    So, whether you are wanting to play classical music or jazz or anything in between. I can help you get there! I prefer students to be age 7 or older for the way I like to teach and I welcome adults at all skill levels.

    Education

    I have a Bachelors Degree in Viola Performance from the University of Washington, Seattle US
    I also hold a K-12 Washington State Teacher Certification for Instrumental and Choral Music

    Experience / Qualifications

    I’ve been teaching private lessons on violin, viola, cello and piano with students ages 6-75 since 1992. In those years, I have helped hundreds of students to develop a love of music and enjoyment of playing.

    In my last few years living in the Seattle area, US, I had 50 students per year in private lessons.

    Previous to full time private lessons, I also taught general music, choir and orchestra classes for 15 years in public and private schools, mostly in Bremerton, WA, US. In Washington state my orchestra and private lesson students were know for winning top honors in competitions and performances around the region.
    I also was a guest teacher for music competitions and with retreats for other orchestra classes in the region.

    I spent one year teaching at Kodaikanal International School in Tamil Nadu, India. There I taught all the string students in private lessons and orchestra classes for middle school and high school.

    In 2015, I moved to Sweden, where I now live and have taught at the International English School for 3 years and then again started my own business doing music lessons, life coaching and creating music albums of songs to go with my children's books.

    I love working with kids of all ages, but I’m especially passionate about getting beginner string students (younger and adults) paired with an instrument they love and helping them to play with good technique from the start so they can enjoy the sound and avoid injury.

    I am certified as a music educator and fertility coach. Creativity coaching is a process of combining life coaching with music practices to help empower your voice, free up your creativity, and give birth to your next project. Whether you are trying to conceive a child, need to work through grief from a loss, or are starting a new business in the creative field, contact me and let's see if we would be a good fit to work together. I love helping clients to create songs to help unleash their creative energy. I also work to help with relieving anxiety in a natural way so that you can better pursue all the things you are passionate about.
