Southbury, CT Violin Lessons

My goal is to help you create a beautiful music by focusing on the foundations of tone, techniques, and practice. Beginners will learn to read music and develop good tone and rhythm. Intermediates will work on tone, vibrato, technique, and expression. At each lesson, I will show you what you need to do and give you the responsibility of practicing at home. You will also work on bowing/finger exercises, music activities, and improvisation so you can play along with any piece of music.

I'm passionate about music and have been over 19 years experience teaching the violin. I accept students from beginner to advanced levels and will help you achieve your goals whether you are wanting to learn the violin as a hobby, for school or pursue music as a career!

Instructions are based on custom curriculum for every student. The curriculum is based on student's desires and abilities and compiled from multiple sources.

Experienced violin, viola and piano teacher of 30+ years available for eager students of all experience levels and ages! I structure my lessons so students learn what they want to learn, while also building a strong foundation of reading, theory and performance skills. I specialize in classical music. I use a variety of methods and literature all dependent on personal need and style of each student.

The student will be instructed on the basics of proper playing techniques, music theory, and musicianship. They will learn to read music and also play by ear which will make them a well rounded player.

From Beginners to Auditioners, I love to teach and help you grow! I use student friendly materials that include learning by playing duos and choosing pieces that help you move forward. If you have an audition coming up and need help preparing I am happy to work on any pieces with you. If you have holes in your technique I
will give you the answers to help fix them.

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.

Hi there, if you're looking for a new hobby or you are just really interested in music, I'm the guy you are looking for. I can teach any age, no matter how young or old, if you have the passion or interest I can help you reach your goal. I provide material for each lesson and I customize each lesson to address your needs as a newly born musician! And if you pass the beginner level I can help you push on to a new frontier. Also, I tend to teach extra material like ear training, sight reading, music theory and etc. I can assure you that anything I teach you, you won't forget. Don't hesitate and contact me right away.

Private violin lessons should be accessible to everyone.

I have been fortunate enough to be blessed with powerful instructors who taught me violin at a very low price at a time when my family could not afford to pay the standard price for violin lessons. I understand the desire to want to be able to excel at what you love or what you wish to be a part of but not be able to partake due to the cost.

By becoming my student, you will be able to learn violin for as little as $15 a week (the lowest Take Lessons allows a violin instructor to charge.)
