Best Violin Lessons in Lawtey, FL

My name is Jerry. I LOVE music and passing my knowledge on to others. I have played many different instruments in many different kinds of bands. It all one major thing in common, it was FUN! If you are not having fun while learning an instrument you won't want to learn. Lessons can be fun AND educational at the same time. I have had many parents tell me I'm one of the best teachers they have ever seen. (A couple of them were public school teachers themselves). I truly want my students to succeed and I will do everything in my power to help them accomplish that!

"Experienced violin and viola teacher and performer 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 classical violin/viola skills. I specialize in classical and pop music typically use Hal Leonard books and Suzuki method and also like to teach songs upon the student requests. Let's get start it!

I can create a personal connection with you even through an online presence due to my knowledge of learning myself through numerous online teachers!

Additionally, not only teaching you music, I can teach you to care for the instrument, and little nitpicks that you may not have ever thought of before!

Because I studied abroad — across three continents (Australia, UK, USA), I have a more worldwide perspective on violin performance practice. I also bring a flexible approach to my discipline, since my focus in classical music encompasses both traditional and modern repertoire. I am very intimate with the art of performance, as I am an avid recitalist and collaborator.
I was a Teaching Assistance/Fellow at UCLA for three years, and I have taught privately for the better part of a decade. The main tenet in my pedagogical philosophy has always been to allow a student to express their own voice, and to cultivate the discipline around their unique expression.

I firmly believe that good technique leads to rapid progress and a happy student. I am a patient, encouraging, and insightful violin and viola instructor. My 6 years of teaching experience has brought me such joy and I can't wait to help you or your child find the fun in playing violin.

I teach children starting at 7 years old, all the way to adults. I teach each player proper playing technique that can be used for classical playing, fiddle-playing and pop music. I also teach music theory and sheet reading alongside violin technique. I tailor each lesson to the students wants and needs.

I have been playing violin for 20 years and have been trained in classical and Fiddle style playing. I also have a full knowledge of Music Theory and how to read sheet music. I believe that learning should be fun and rewarding.
