Violin Lessons in Chandler, AZ

Instruments: Violin Electric Violin

I give criticism, as it is necessary for improvement, but I do not neglect the success in each lesson. I especially strive for every lesson to end on a positive note. I find the last few minutes of the lesson are what the student takes home with them, and as a result foreshadow the following week. If they take home something negative, it is less likely that they will feel the desire to play or practice or even look forward to the next lesson. Read More

For beginning students who are children,I combined the Essential Elements for strings along with the Suzuki Method. I will also introduced the solo repertoire appropriate for scholarships and symphony membership. I also provide materials that will enable individuals, and homogeneous/heterogeneous string groups to build the secure technique so vital to string players who want to express themselves musically. In short, this systematic approach developed by me will improve and be utilized equally well amongst the chosen student of achievement. Read More

I set big goals for each year for every student. Auditioning for the local youth orchestras, participating in local competitions or auditioning for colleges, and then we make monthly plans to work towards that goal. I also plan annual recitals so that students can enjoy performing in a supportive environment, and learn how to work + enjoy working with a pianist, or in a chamber music group. Collaborative musical skills are essential in a musician. :) On top of standard repertory, I add scales and etudes as part of the students’ learning, but also highly enjoyable songs that the students can choose themselves.

I do my best to tailor my style to each students specific needs and goals. In general, I am a very laidback and patient teacher. My students recieve clear and achievable goals at the end of each of their lessons to work on while they are practicing during the week. This enables students to be able to really see their own progress as the practice. I also believe in music lessons being an enjoyable experience for students so I include students in making the decision for what pieces they would like to learn. Read More

I love to teach students music and help them grow both as people and musicians. In 2009, I graduated from Fresno Pacific University with a Bachelor's degree in Music Education, and my primary instruments were violin, viola, and piano. After graduation, I continued to maintain my home studio where I taught individual lessons, and I also taught elementary orchestra for Chandler Unified. Since having my 2 kids, I teach from home exclusively, and I play in various chamber groups throughout the Valley. Read More
