About Me:ShowMy goal in teaching is to give every student individually what they need! Learning how to play the violin can be hard work, but it is also fun and once you start getting your own sound you will never want to stop anymore. I like to use the "Suzuki-method" for younger kids, but nothing works for everyone, so we will figure out together how to make the best progress...! It's important to see live concerts and I always encourage my students to go and tell them when good shows are coming up! I also listen to recordings with my students and sometimes we even make one ourselves... usually a lot of fun!

About Me:ShowI have been teaching for over ten years and am known for giving a personal approach to each student. We are all different and have different musical goals. My goal is to help you learn the tools to get where YOU want to be in music, and I'd love to help anyone see all the magic this world of music has to offer you! I am a crossover artist who has played in top classical orchestra festivals and has also worked with well-known jazz artists and even hip-hop artists such as Ja Rule, and pop artists like Olivia Newton John!

About Me:ShowTypical lesson structure: Technical exercises, repertoire, ear training and a fun piece (such as a fiddle tune or popular song). I believe in fostering an environment where the student can express his or her individuality and love for their instrument. Much emphasis is placed on practicing correctly; quality over quantity.
