Violin Lessons in Universal City, TX

Instruments: Piano Violin Cello Viola Music Keyboard

My lessons are very structured and fun. I incorporate games, visual aids, physical application, and live demonstrations to help appeal to the different styles. I do expect a high level of commitment from students while still being understanding that life doesnt always allow us to practice hours and hours a day. Since I do provide a lot of information within each lesson, I add a 5 minute break (if needed) to help clear the mind or just rest the eyes/arms since staring at music for a long period of time or holding up an instrument for a long period of time can be quite taxing.

Instruments: Piano Violin Drums

Music has been one of my passions since I was a little girl! I took up piano at age 8, violin at 13, and drums at 15. I've been known to belt out a tune here and there, too! There is nothing better than having an afternoon to lose yourself to creating and playing music. In high school, I was Concert Master of the Philharmonic Orchestra. I've had the opportunity to perform on the drums at various venues and was invited by my drum instructor to return to the studio to become an instructor myself, where I taught for three years.

I began teaching music in my college days. I was a music director in the public schools. I have been consistently teaching music in my home studio for the past 11 years. I am passionate about being a teacher and teaching students of all ages. I enjoy teaching classical music because it is a firm foundation for all other genres of music. If one can play classical, they can play anything. Read More

I also ask students what goals they have in learning the instrument, what they would like to be able to do in 6 months to a year. Based on that information, I move forward with music notation and performance. For this age group, I believe acknowledging their progress and achievement is critical. Smaller acknowledgements could be presented during a semester. Larger acknowledgements, such as a recital and reception, certainly can encourage a student to move forward. Read More

My teaching experience starts back to my beginning years of college days. I start began teaching as private lesson instructor at my previous college community music school. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More

I strive to help every student achieve their desired goal in each lesson, even if they only want to play music for fun. Additionally, I am open to helping students learn various styles of music as long as they can bring written out sheet music. I taught a couple of adult recorder students in the past, and each of them has improved on their instrument as a result of my teaching. Read More
