I have been teaching violin for seven years. Though I am classically trained, my interest in music goes far beyond classical music. I am constantly listening to various genres of music and consider myself a forever learner, loving everything in music from Prokofiev to the Flaming Lips.

Shoulder rest or sponge
Previous method books (if you are not a first time learner)
Metronome
Pencil
