    Very easy, heard back immediately from several instructors giving me options. Paulo was the perfect match.

    Simply put, Paulo is an outstanding instructor. He himself is so driven and is constantly working to improve his musicality, which directly translates to his excellent teaching! Learning with Paulo is a great step for younger musicians especially. He dedicates a lot of time and detail into ensuring the students are developing correct playing technique and aids them in exploring a variety of repertoire! Always great things coming from Paulo.

    So, Paulo was my first lessons teacher and I honestly couldn’t have asked for better. He taught me most of the basics and helped me create a strong foundation to improve upon: relaxed bow hand/arm, vibrato, positions, 3-octave scales, some sight reading, expressiveness. (sprinkle in some music theory) He taught all this while being patient and pushing me to be my best. 10 out of 10 would recommend for anyone who is considering.

    The best teacher I have ever had hands down! I am completely new at violin at the age of 24 and have made great progress because of Paulo. He’s so sweet and easy to talk to, I always feel so encouraged and confident during our lessons. Very genuine and patient, especially with a beginner such as myself which made me feel very comfortable. Be prepared to surprise yourself! I’m still fairly new but can hear such a difference in how I play.

    Paulo is very patient and upbeat! He has always been so encouraging and has taught me how to be a better teacher and violinist. There’s never been a boring time with him.

    Paulo is an excellent instructor! Energetic and prepared. My sister (middle school) and I (college) both took lessons from him so he can certainly teach all ages. He made me and my sister feel comfortable and relaxed. Both of us left our lessons feeling like we had definitely learned and improved and knew how to practice. Would definitely recommend!

    Frequently asked questions

    First I'd like to get to know the student and ask what their goals are. Next, I would ask them to play anything they want and perhaps a few scales to gauge their level. Then I would create a detailed lesson plan on what will cover during our lessons. 

    I have had the privilege of learning from teachers that have studied in Juilliard, USC, and Colburn and have been accumulating knowledge of teaching for six years now. I have also been working as a violin coach for string programs ranging from elementary to high school. 

    I generally like to work with the financial situation of each student and their families so prices are negotiable.

    Standard prices are:

    $25 for 30 minutes

    $30 for 45 minutes

    $40 for 60 minutes

    I always had a passion for teaching. I began teaching for community service for a local outreach program which blossomed into starting my own violin studio and helping each musician I work with thrive.

    I have worked with students of ALL ages and I accommodate each student's learning style and needs.

    It was amazing to see my grade school students achieve State Solo Awards and make it into Honor Orchestras!

    I suggest seeing how a teacher instructs and works with their student in order to see if it is the right fit.

    I emphasize thinking about the specific need and how the teacher would be able to help with such needs.
