Instruments: Violin

Most importantly, learning violin should be fun.  In my lessons, my students will find a variety of rhythm games and activities.  I am not just teaching violin, but music as a whole.

As a slow learner myself growing up, I believe that everyone can learn how to play great music with good instruction. Read More
