Step Into Music Violin/Viola
About
I have 30 years of playing the violin under my musical belt and have been teaching all ages for the past 12 years. No need to travel, because you can learn out of the comfort of your own home via online lessons! I have a throrough methodology that will get you playing Vivaldi and fun hits quickly!
Being able to provide the gift of music through such a fabulous instrument is priceless! I have watched so of many of my students grow into wonderful musicians and I can't express how soul nourishing that is for the both of us. Music is a universal language that breaks down any other language barriers because it's enjoyed by all!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
First, I like to get to know if there is any musical background. Getting the feel of why the student is interested in the instrument and the kind of music they would like to play is beneficial to understand before getting started. Then, I begin to understand their level of playing and we go from there.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been classically trained and studied violin from a very young age. I played in many orchestras through grade school, middle school, junior high, highschool, and through my university years. I took lessons for 20 years and then started teaching myself.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I charge monthly for lessons and the beginning of each month. Lessons are between $50-$60 depending on duration and frequency.

I started tutoring orchestra students at a local middle school. From there, it was a wonderful domino effect of beginning my private business.

Describe a recent event you are fond of.
As a teacher, teaching someone without the gift of sight yet with the exceptional gift of hearing was one of the fondest events I can think of. She really learned her instrument and fingerboard like nobody I have ever experienced.
I played for a red carpet event in Malibu and that was a beautiful experience as a performer.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
You are never to young or old to start this instrument!
It's not as hard as it seems with my methodology. With my instruction I will break it down so that it's super easy to learn!
