Violin playing made easy with expert guidance from an experienced teacher
I feel what makes taking lessons with me unique is my experience teaching private violin and viola lessons in Texas public schools (grades 6-12) and my career as a professional musician having performed in many orchestral, opera, and chamber music settings. Through the lens of that performed experience, I know how crucial an education that includes classical music can be in a student’s overall academic development and maturation. Though not everyone pursues music as a career, no matter the student’s age, I wish to ultimately be a positive support system in fostering their development in their mirrored desirability to make classical music and incorporate it's richness and beauty into their life.

Howdy, thank you for taking the time to check out my TL page!
I am a musician formerly based out Dallas, TX, but have moved as of November 2021 to Germany.
When I lived in the USA, I performed in orchestras across the North Texas and Louisiana area as an orchestral violist, having played professionally for 13 years. I currently play with the ORSO Orchestra and the Erzgebirge Theater Orchestra in Germany.
I have traveled abroad and performed in concert halls in other places of the world such as Muscat, Leipzig, Prague and Kraków. As a teacher I have 14 years of experience of working with violin and viola students of a variety of ages, but primarily with students in the middle school to high school age range in North Texas public schools. My students have gone on to high placings in All-State and All-Region competitions and have performed in many solo competitions.
I invite those who are new or proficient to the violin or viola into my studio. It is my feeling that anyone of any age can play as long as the desire to make music is present.
Please message me if you have any questions on how we can get you started exploring your potential on the instrument. I look forward to meeting and engaging with you in discovering and honing your musical talents!

Michael is very attentive, knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging. Our beginner violinist is loving what she is learning and loving her time with Michael. We're so glad we found Michael.
