Subjects Taught Violin, Fiddle
About Me
I love to teach the violin and fiddle. I really enjoy working with adult beginners to help them discover music. You are never too old to learn! My specialty is working with young children to establish a wonderful foundation for the student with the violin and musicianship with both the violin and fiddle. I am a structured teacher who is helpful, friendly and fun to work with. In working with young children I encourage the parent to be involved with the lessons...to partnership, so that the child will progress and have an enjoyable experience. I use a modern approach to teaching materials; books that inspire and encourage the student at his/her level and age group. Having taught several instruments during the past 15 years...I understand the importance of passing on musical knowledge to brave beginners who are starting out on the pathway to a musical life. Music lessons can be a wonderful "corner stone" and a building block to a person's life be they young or old, beginner or...

Laura M, Looking forward to a new journey
Diane has been a Godsend! She is very patient and kind-hearted. She explains things in a way that is easy to understand; for a beginner this is very important. She teaches about the instrument and its history, as well as the music that comes from it - classical violin as well as the fiddle -- just what I was looking for. She is always encouraging, upbeat and willing to go the extra mile for those less knowledgable than herself. A wonderful teacher for both young and adult students.

Diane is an AMAZING teacher! I love her so much. She is extremely warm and welcoming, and always eager to help me enhance my learning experience. She is very good at noticing what I need to work on, and giving me tools and tricks to do just that! She is also very good at letting you decide what you think you need to work on, and what you would like to get out of each lesson. She's always lending me books and cds, and anything she thinks will motivate me to become more involved with the violin, and she is constantly suggesting local groups and jams that I can join if I want to meet other local violinists. I am extremely happy with my experience with Diane. She is exactly who I was looking for to help me get back into the violin world! Thanks so much Diane, you're the best!
