Viola Lessons Northeast

Instruments: Violin, Viola

I like to be encouraging and positive in lessons! I also like to maintain a certain standard :)! I think developing consistency in practice even if it starts at 15 mins a day is key to success. There is a lot of muscle memory and training involve and it requires consistency. I do my best to set realistic and clear weekly goals for each student and encourage them along the way! I find if one is consistent with practice, usually within a semester (6 months) or earlier, one can play their first song and feel comfortable to perform in public within 1 years time! Read More

Instruments: Violin, Viola, Electric Violin, Fiddle, Music

I typically start with the Suzuki Method or the ABC's of Violin, as well as the I Can Read Music series. I believe ear-training and note-reading are equally important to a students' development, as well as mixing in genres other than classical that interest my students, such as jazz, fiddle or celtic. The goal is to have fun through excelling and making rapid and permanent good habits. I believe performing (preferably by memory) on your instrument is the best part of learning an instrument, so encourage my students to perform at least twice a year in a recital. Read More

I am an energetic, enthusiastic violin and viola teacher passionate about passing on the craft of string playing. Creating and sharing musical art is my lifelong mission. I started learning violin at the age of 4, but I firmly believe you can start at any age. I grew up in Salt Lake City, where I graduated from the University of Utah in 2020 with a Bachelor of Music degree in Violin Performance. Read More

Each student is unique and I cater my teaching style to the specific needs of the student.  The key is teaching students how to identify problems for themselves and how to practice to fix them.  In addition I believe that learning music should be fun! This is the reason that I got into music and continue it to this day.   Read More

I try to make lessons as fun, enjoyable, and encouraging as I possibly can for the student! Music is something that I have been passionate and serious about since I was very young, so I love to see and encourage that kind of spirit in my students. I like to create weekly goals specific to each student, good daily practice habits, performance opportunities, and an engaging learning environment for my students. Read More
