Violin Lessons Pima County, AZ

Instruments: Piano, Violin, Viola

As students progress at his/her own pace I try to keep them moving forward with realistic goals and encouragement. One important consideration I keep in mind is choosing the right music for each student according to developing skill levels. If the music is to easy, a student could become bored and unchallenged. Should the music become to difficult too soon, the student may become discouraged. Having said that, I will allow the student to try some "challenging" music, and allow them to progress and work up to a new level of playing. Read More

Watching students progress and fall in love with music is deeply rewarding for me. I approach my teaching in a fun and friendly way, using our outlined goals to guide us through learning the instrument. I like to help my students set up their own customized practice schedule and will make notes throughout our lesson so that the student is completely clear on what they must do on their own, With every new element that I introduce, I work on it until I see understanding from the student, so I can see that they know what to work on.

I do my best to tailor my style to each students specific needs and goals. In general, I am a very laidback and patient teacher. My students recieve clear and achievable goals at the end of each of their lessons to work on while they are practicing during the week. This enables students to be able to really see their own progress as the practice. I also believe in music lessons being an enjoyable experience for students so I include students in making the decision for what pieces they would like to learn. Read More

My teaching style is flexible and aims to motivate the student to fall in love with playing and practicing on his or her own. At each lesson I will ask if there is something is particular that the student was troubled by during the previous week’s practicing and aim to solve that problem together. Eventually the student will learn how to problem solve during practicing. I encourage students to listen to many recordings of the works that they are learning to find inspiration. Read More

These lessons are not mine- they are the student's. Which means that it is ultimately up to the student where these lessons can and will take us, I am merely a guide to help them get to where they want to go. However, no matter what, there are two things that are most important to me to come out of these lessons. The first is having healthy and proper posture/body alignment. Read More
