Welcome to my page! Much of my teaching focuses on building the fundamentals a student needs to succeed in music's technical and aural aspects. I believe that establishing the fundamentals (instrument anatomy, note reading, proper picking/bowing, ear training) will help build upon the students' later skills that they'll learn. I've been playing violin for roughly 8 years, guitar for about 5, and teaching both for about 4 years to beginner/intermediate students. I am confident in my ability to engage any dedicated or intrigued student with my unique skillset and experience.

Are violin lessons worth it?

Learning violin without private feedback is extremely difficult and takes much longer.

How many violin lessons do I need?

You need as many violin lessons as it takes to reach your personal goals, depending on how good you are now, how much you practice, and how qualified your teacher is. Most folks need to take violin classes regularly for many months before they can play a basic song or read music.

Generally, it takes about 3 to 6 years to start playing many different songs quite well. If you want to play like a professional, it often takes more than 10 years of ongoing practice and tutoring.

How long are violin lessons?

Violin lessons are 30 minutes long for beginners and up to 60 minutes long on average. Extended lessons are only for advanced students, will cost extra, and are subject to the teacher's availability.

What age is best to start violin lessons?

The best age to start violin lessons is between 4 to 7 years old at the earliest, or whenever you have a strong enough focus on learning and can hold the instrument comfortably. Children need to exhibit sufficient physical coordination and concentration before they can start violin lessons.

However, adults are capable of learning and deriving pleasure from playing the violin, irrespective of their age.
