Violin Lessons Davis County, UT

Instruments: Piano, Violin, Keyboard

I am somewhat flexible on books and methods, but unless my students have already invested time and money in a particular published method, I start them on the Bastien series, which is not too expensive and is well designed and effective. As they progress to intermediate, they will be expected to buy some classical music, collections, and technique books. In addition, I will write out some exercises and guiding information and instructions to assist them in their practice and approach to style and technique. Read More

Some of my earliest memories are from learning how to read music. I've been involved in piano and violin for most of my life, beginning both early in elementary school. I studied privately for roughly ten years under various instructors while in school. My instruction consisted mostly of solo performance pieces, but I was fortunate to be able to enjoy many years in the Idaho Falls Youth Symphony as well as experience the Idaho All-State Orchestra and the Teton Chamber Orchestra.

I like to start with these skills and move forward with other facets of music such as technique, stylistic training and even audition training. Read More
