Violin Lessons in Farmington, UT

Instruments: Violin Viola

I have consistently been teaching students in my home for the past 7 years and never want to stop! My goal with each student is to teach the fundamentals of the violin/viola, and especially how to practice in an organized way. I want my students to gain their own love for the instrument and be inspired daily by music. My students are required to practice daily and perform often. I want each student to walk away from lessons feeling like a better, more educated, and excited person. Read More

In addition, I will write out some exercises and guiding information and instructions to assist them in their practice and approach to style and technique. Read More
