Best Violin Lessons in East Haddam, CT

I have been teaching children of all age groups to acquire a solid foundation in violin playing. Whether it be pre-K beginners, or high school students getting ready for college auditions, I will communicate with the students and parents to set a number of goals to achieve.
I also welcome adult students, beginners and amateur enthusiasts alike.

In addition to gaining expertise in the techniques in violin playing, students in my studio will be given opportunities to gain comprehensive music knowledge including theory, sight singing, ear training, and any relevant music history, as the above-mentioned knowledge are indispensable elements in violin playing. Singing and clapping are essential parts of the lesson. When students are equipped with the basics, they can play anything and make the music they want.

Music is a part of everyone's lives, and I believe the violin is one of the best instruments to make music. Also a challenging instrument, I am determined to help every student develop the necessary techniques and skills needed for violin playing. Especially with the current situation in the world, music is needed more than ever! I will strive to do what is best for each student, and I hope you will join me in making music.

I hold a Bachelor of Music degree from the New England Conservatory and am currently a Master's student at Juilliard. I regularly play solo and chamber concerts internationally and can offer the highest level of instruction and artistry. I am also a passionate teacher- I am a Juilliard teaching artist at a local school in Harlem. I have over 10 years experience teaching young students, having worked with the New England Conservatory Preparatory School as an arts administrator, chamber coach, and orchestra sectional teacher.
