Violin Lessons in North Chelmsford, MA

Instruments: Violin

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with a modified Suzuki method, starting with rote learning and eventually progressing to notated music. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Read More

I teach every student slightly differently depending on their needs and age and more. There is nothing more fun than playing music so I love to help build their passion for playing the violin/vla/cello. I like the lessons to be fun experiences. I find that playing with others can be very encouraging. So whenever they can have group classes or share two lessons back to back with both of them there the entire time I love to do that.

Every time I teach a student, I learn something new about people and my instrument. I end up learning right along with them, and I love it! if you are starting from ground zero, I typically like to start with the Suzuki method books, and learning by ear. Learning good techniques and is of the utmost importance at this stage!

I’ve been teaching private lessons for about 6 years. Some of my favorite teaching experiences have been from my time in Tanzania, where I have been a music teacher every summer since 2016. I’ve taught students as young as 4 years old- I think it’s never to early to introduce the joys of music making to a child! Children and adult students alike, my biggest goal in lessons is to foster a life-long love of music. Read More
