Viola Lessons Sonoma County, CA

Instruments: Guitar, Violin, Viola

My teaching style is fun, intriguing, and never boring nor dry. I believe that music lessons should never feel like a shore, instead they should stimulate your brain! I want all of my students to be able to ask questions without them feeling shy. Music is magical and intangible which means we can only feel it through our ears, soul, and heart, and that's why I teach my students to be able to appreciate music the best they can through my teaching methods.

I also had performed in world-class concert halls, such as Disney Concert Hall, Carnegie Hall, and Ren and Henry Segerstrom Hall. Read More

For beginning students I like to begin with learning scales, becoming aware of the circle of fifths, introducing different types of bow strokes, bow control, and other essentials along with simple Suzuki book solo pieces. Once the student has progressed a little further, I will introduce more difficult solo repertoire that I feel will help the students techniques while also showcasing their abilities. For adults, I will try to find out what music the student is interested in and work with them in that way, in order to keep them engaged and enjoy playing music! Read More
