Violin with Sarah G.

I strongly believe that playing the violin should be a rewarding experience students. No two students are exactly alike, so I avoid the cookie-cutter approach to teaching—instead, I structure lessons based on each student's unique strengths and challenges, as well as what interests them. While technique is a crucial component to playing the violin, I also take joy in helping my students find their own musical voice. I have seen many of my students rise from complete beginners to advanced, talented players. Even the adult beginners I have taught have made tremendous progress both in technique and in musical expression—it is never too late to learn how to play the violin! I am experienced in teaching classical and fiddle music, but I am also always open to helping you learn any kind of music you want to play (Coldplay, Etta James, Disney music, Broadway musicals, or anything else). If there's something you'd love to learn, I'll help you do it!
