Violin Lessons North Carolina

Instruments: Violin, Viola

I love to share my love for music with not only my student's but as well family members. I teach mostly based on the Suzuki Method. But based on each students needs, I will work with the individuals and use techniques, books, and ideas based on those needs and learning strategies of the students. I hope you have taken the time to read a little more about the Suzuki Method if you are not familiar with it. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Violin, Viola, Synthesizer, Electric Violin, Fiddle

I love to ask questions about the student's thought process, and you will commonly see me "break down" technique into smaller, more digestable pieces. I will also take the time to discuss the musical setting of the piece to give the performance more context. For example, did you know that Mozart's Violin Sonata No. 21 in e minor was written around the time his mother passed, and is the only instrumental piece he wrote that rests in e minor? Read More

Instruments: Violin, Viola

Ive been performing violin for almost 20 years, teaching for 15 years, and running my violin studio here in NC for the last 6 months. I currently teach for Kidsnotes in Durham, as well as running my own music studio, and I am able to teach children of any age. My specialty lies in identifying the needs of every student, and providing them with the tools, performances, and motivation they need to achieve greater heights! Read More

Instruments: Violin

I am a 19 year-old student of Baptist College of Ministry in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin. Having grown up the second oldest of five siblings, I understand how to relate to other people and work with them even in difficult situations. As a Christian, I believe in good character principles and righteous living. I ultimately desire the best for others rather than myself. With a life of teaching ahead of me, I am constantly seeking better ways of instructing students, relating with their issues, and helping them find the best way to success. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Violin, Banjo, Mandolin, Fiddle, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

Depending on the instrument, I like to start working from a variety of traditional methods to get started. In the past, Ive preferred the Hal Leonard and Mel Bay series as a basis for learning piano, guitar, and banjo and for violin students- the Suzuki method (although I am not specifically a Suzuki teacher) followed by a prescribed series of etude books. Of course, this is helpful stuff for building a good, universal technical ability but I believe it is also important for a student to multi-task learning music that personally inspires them and that they can eventually perform with others.
