Belleair Beach, FL Viola Lessons

In addition to playing violin, I've also played viola in duets, trios, and string quartets, and is another beautiful instrument to learn.

My approach includes providing the student with a good foundation of both left and right hand technique using a combination of method books which reinforce note-reading and proper posture for the first year. We then start adding solo pieces from the Classical repertoire and supplement those with modern pieces from Pop, Latin, Jazz, or any other style the student would like to learn.

Students always get a well-rounded education with me on the string instruments I teach AND are prepared to play either alone, or in groups when the opportunity presents itself.

Happy Practicing!

Hello. Welcome to my class. This is your time to shine and create music together.

I have played viola since 8th grade and I offer my skills in reading alto clef to assist violinists who may be making the switch. I can also work with students through Suzuki Level One or two levels of most method books. For string lessons in general, I especially recommend live lessons for beginners.

We will first discuss playing goals, and past experience and then I will make a lesson plan based around this discussion. We will then move forward accordingly. We will practice scales, different technique exercises, and repertoire.

A private Viola instructor for almost 15 years, my students have gone on to participate in prestigious Youth Symphonies, and festival orchestras at the Regional and All-State levels. I focus on building a strong foundation of bow and left hand technique, with students participating in selecting repertoire they enjoy for auditions, talent shows, or just for fun! I specialize in classical, but have worked in multiple styles, and utilize a variety of books for scales, exercises, and solo pieces.

I am a very patient teacher. Because each student is unique, I work very hard to individualize every lesson for every student. My lessons are not one size fits all. They change to meet the needs of the student.
