    Isabelle is great! She really knows how to work with kids to get them interested in learning and having fun while improving skills. It was hard to find someone who is an actual viola player and not someone who knows a little about it because they play violin or another instrument. We’re so glad that we found her. And my son, who can get moody if he doesn’t like something, actually practices and looks forward to lessons. We highly recommend Isabelle.

    Isabelle is very hard working teacher, and what I admire most is the immense patience she has for the mistakes I make. Rather than forcing improvements, she always finds way to make me understand how I can rectify my mistakes.

    She is patient yet challenging, focused yet playful. The rhythm of each lesson is thorough, and there is room for spontaneous playing. Lots of information is given in every lesson! She also gives lots of wonderful suggestions for practicing.

    Ms. Isabelle has done a fantastic job teaching my young daughter. We work on technique and theory, all while keeping a small attention engaged.

    Frequently asked questions

    I work with my students to help them achieve their goals. First I start by getting to know what my students want to accomplish, and then I help make a plan to get them there. Lessons typically include scales, technique work, and repertoire. I also love playing duets with my students to work on ensemble skills and sight reading.

    I have done extensive teacher training including Suzuki Method, String Teacher training at Indiana University, a pedagogy course at Northwestern University, and a Fiddle method training.

    I care deeply about my teaching and am always looking to develop my skills and expertise further.

    I started as a practice helper for my mother's students, both my parents are also string players. I've learned much from both of them about teaching and have kept learning and teaching since high school.

    Beginners and intermediate students of all ages, 3 and up. I've worked with many beginners, and many adult students as well. I specialize in guiding new players through the first few years of their violin playing and developing their technique in a relaxed and physically balanced way.

    My student's studio recital! It was wonderful to see the accomplishments of all my students. It is lovely to have my students get together to celebrate beautiful music and share what they have been working on.

    Try out at least two different teachers to find a good fit. Also look for teachers who have pedagogy training, the more they have the more they are really devoted to being the best teacher they can be.

    Think through your goals, why you want lessons, and let your teacher know what you'd like to learn and improve upon.
