If you are looking to have fun on the violin while learning skills and new songs that you love, I am your gal! Combining fun fiddle tunes with popular songs and the Suzuki method (we will tailor our lessons to music you love), I promise to get you loving your instrument and playing any songs that make you feel joyful and alive - for isn't that what music is all about? We will also use games, exercises, stretching and warmups to get feeling comfortable, relaxed and confident. I have over ten years experience as a violin teacher as well as an elementary, middle school and high school teacher, and I am also a professional violinist who has played in bands, duos and have my own solo project. If you are also interested in learning how to make money from your violin by starting a band or joining others groups, I can help you market yourself to get out there with your music. We can work on what you want to do because I am here to help you find joy through music, whatever that looks like for you!
