A dollar is minute is a very decent compensation which I don't make as an engineer with 7 years of college education. But unfortunately that didn't inspire enough professionalism in Gabbi. Maybe she reserves her professionalism for few people and not for everyone.

I am friendly and like to inspire my students to find their own best potential. Suitable challenges are fun and needed to keep the personal progress going on. "No suffering in my studio!" means that the process of learning needs to be enjoyabl
e but at the same time I am asking the students to give their best effort. Setting frequent goals in form of group classes and recitals keeps us in full sail and teach us to enjoy the act of playing both alone and in front of friendly audience.
I teach both classical and Suzuki methods. I like to keep my students musically well fed and encourage exploring music reading and music theory next to practical skills. I stir my students toward high standard personal level in their studies, an ingredient from Finnish cultural climate.

a love and passion for music in each of my students.
I always encourage students to explore music on their own and bring me repertoire that they'd like to play (from their favorite movies, TV shows, video games, etc.). Those are a great and engaging supplement to the solo repertoire I choose!
Send me a message to get to know more about me and my teaching. I look forward to hearing from you!
Musically,
Danielle

About Grace W.
CloseMy teaching philosophy is to instill in my students foundational skills enabling them to play wholesome, beautiful music for their enjoyment and the enjoyment of others. I love to show my students how they can make their violin an extension of their personalities and interests with music from classical to modern genres and activities that give them variety in the lesson and practice time. Games and listening exercises give my students a chance to take a break from playing and develop their senses for further musical understanding and appreciation.
About Grace
I've been a student of music for 17 years and love playing for others and teaching my students how to enjoy music. Most of my teaching experience has come from private lessons with individual students in their homes or mine but I have also really enjoyed being the string teacher for a public middle school and private preparatory school. Some of my students have been as young as 4 and as far advanced as their early 70s! Most of my teaching material comes from a classical standpoint but I make a point of incorporating music from different genres to maintain interest and motivation for each student. When I can spare time from teaching I enjoy playing for events and have had the wonderful experience of travelling overseas to bring music to others.

About Elly K.
CloseClassically trained, but I also love Irish and Bluegrass fiddle! Or, I can make skill-appropriate arrangements of whatever music you want to learn, and teach you the technique you need to master it!
I love sharing music with people of all ages. When your teacher is having a great time too, you'll learn more, better and faster!
I really can't describe the emotion of seeing a student light up when they conquer a new technique or figure out that song they obsessed over. Whether your child wants to join the school orchestra and learn classical method; or you were inspired by Lindsey Stirling and just want to learn that one song; or you're retired and have always dreamt of crossing "Learn an Instrument" off your bucket-list, I would love to guide you on your journey to musical literacy!
About Elly
Hi, my name is Elly. I was inspired to learn violin when I was very little, after seeing a performance of Riverdance- I fell in love with Irish fiddle and begged my mom to let me begin lessons.
I began classical violin lessons in elementary school. By middle school, I had worked my way up to the advanced school orchestra. In 7th grade things changed- we found out that both of our viola players would be missing our next concert. My orchestra teacher begged me to take a viola and methods book home that weekend and learn the parts to fill-in for our absentees. I ended up loving it! I pursued classical viola all the way through middle and high school, then at the University of Arizona, as part of numerous string ensembles and symphonic orchestras.
I continued independent studies of violin, frequently attending Bluegrass and Irish music

jams and festivals.
One of my favorite musical experiences was being part of the Northwest Intergenerational Community Orchestra: a full symphony in which members ranged in age from 9 to 90, and skill levels from first-year player to retired career professionals. I started as a guppy and ended up a respected mentor after several years' participation. Being immersed in that environment was simply amazing, and showed me that age and experience are never a limiting factor in the kind of beauty that can ensue from mutual musical passion.
I will teach all ages and abilities, and I would prefer to travel to you. If you are unable to host, I can possibly arrange an alternate location. Thanks for visiting my profile, and I hope to hear from you!
