Great With Kids and Adults. Learn To Play Violin And Fiddle Stress-Free

I am thrilled to specialize in teaching strings! Whether it's the violin, viola, cello, or upright bass, I've got you covered. I absolutely adore working with students of all ages, starting from four years old and up. Trust me, if you can tie your shoes, you can definitely play the violin! To ensure a solid foundation, every lesson commences with a thorough evaluation. We'll cover all the essentials, from proper instrument posture to injury prevention. I'll also provide you with valuable tips on effective individual practice, marking music, mastering scales, and perfecting bow technique. These aspects are my absolute priorities. But remember, lessons should be an absolute blast! I want you to enjoy each session more and more. That's why I incorporate not only classical music but also the latest popular tunes. It's incredible to witness students' reactions when they play songs they recognize. We'll focus on technique and posture but within a safe and enjoyable environment. And hey, making mistakes is absolutely okay! In my class, there's no judgment whatsoever. If you need extra time or assistance, I'm here to support you all the way. Believe it or not, I've had the pleasure of guiding students into youth orchestras, community orchestras, and even college orchestras. If you're interested in audition preparation, just let me know!

What a great teacher! Not only is she very pleasant and patient, she's very knowledgeable. Within one lesson I learned more than 5 lessons with another teacher. Thank you!

Michelle seems knowledgeable and personable. And I appreciate her approach on helping me establish good habits re posture with the violin to avoid injury and to focus on my goals as an adult learner new to violin.

Experiencia

Online Teacher

Jan, 2018 - Present

Take Lessons

I've been teaching online lessons for a solid 5 years, and I've been doing private lessons for a whopping 14 years! Let me tell you, it was quite a learning curve to adapt to teaching online. But you know what? I embraced it! I discovered that I needed a whole bunch of props and had to bring out my inner performer to keep things lively. And you know what? I absolutely adore teaching online! It gives me the flexibility to enjoy my mornings, teach my heart out, and still have quality time with my family. Seriously, without this online platform, it would be a major struggle for me to continue teaching because those studios just don't open in the mornings. Sure, I teach in the evenings too, but I like to keep my weekends all to myself. It's just the perfect balance if you ask me!
