I'm a classically trained violinist, with a Cajun Louisiana fiddling background. In the third grade, I began playing violin for orchestras in New Orleans, Louisiana and later had the wonderful opportunity to be a part of the New Orleans Creative Center for the Arts. It was then that I began to develop a lifelong love for music performance and collaboration. I offer a variety of string-based music lessons for violin, violin, cello, and guitar for students. I welcome all ages. No prior musical background is required!
Experienced in private and group teaching settings for beginner to advanced level string students for ten years. I am currently the Strings instructor at Haywood Community College in Clyde, NC where I offer beginner to advanced classes for violin, viola, and cello.
Although I learned to play strings in a classical background, I welcome all musical styles and techniques! I strive to provide lessons that are suited for each students individual interests and performance goals. A consistent practice schedule is key to maintaining progress. When it comes to music, a world of creativity and knowledge awaits!
I use Hal Leonard's Essential Elements books for all of my strings classes. Depending on the student's playing desires, I introduce a wide variety of solo pieces and can help shape effective performance skills.
For violin, viola, and cello I typically focus on the following methods, depending on the student's playing desires:
• Basic Music Theory
• Posture & Positioning
• Bow Articulation & Plucking
• Sight-Reading
• Practice Techniques
• Music Performance & Improvisation
I offer beginner to advanced style lessons for violin. I offer beginner to intermediate lessons for viola, cello, and guitar.
Whether a student is preparing for a local competition, a school event, or simply wanting to dust off the instrument that has been sitting around for years, I am here to help. I create lessons geared towards the students individual goals and aspirations while maintaining a strong foundation of music technique, theory, and performance. I encourage students to establish a consistent practice schedule while keeping their passions at the center of learning and playing. I believe that music must be taught in a healthy and fun environment!
