Instruments: Violin Mandolin Electric Violin Fiddle

  Musically speaking, I don't believe in boundaries - I don't think musicians need to be categorized or put into little boxes that tells them what they can and can't do.

I believe we should learn from anything and everything, because music provided a window into another human's soul - and I believe each soul has value. Read More

Instruments: Piano Violin

I have taught private lessons, part time for over 15 years. The instruments I teach are the piano and violin. I find that students progress more with regular short intervals of daily practice. I like to make the music fun with songs that children like and then have other books with the basics. For adults I like to start with folk songs, classical music, and showtunes. My students learn with a variety of books from a lesson book to a notes speller to a classical book. Read More
