Best Violin Lessons in Marble Hill, GA

Hey, y'all! Okay, I really can't say that I have a charming southern accent, but I can say that I have lived in Georgia my whole life! ;)

I started violin lessons at age 5, piano at 6, and music theory at 7. I loved music so much that I later went on to earn a B.A. in music from North Georgia College and State University, followed by an M.M. in violin performance from University of Georgia.

I've had the privilege of teaching music for 18 years now (3 of those at University of North Georgia), and I love it! It's incredibly rewarding to watch students start from scratch, gradually reaching fluency in the language of musical technique and expression. Every professional was once a beginner! I'd be so grateful for the opportunity to help you reach your musical goals.

Passing on what I have learned is not just a job, it is something I am passionate about. I work with the whole person to help create a lifelong love of music, as well as a great technique to accomplish goals at any level.

Experienced violin teacher of 20 years 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 skills. I teach Suzuki method and Kodály method. I teach contemporary music songs.

I'm an encouraging and friendly teacher with high standards. My students enjoy learning and steadily progressing. I love teaching students of all ages and levels, from music majors to retired CEOs who are finally pursuing their dreams of playing violin!

Hey there explorer!

So you thought the violin is only meant to play Classical music? Think again!
With over 13 years of experience in improvisation in many different musical styles on the violin, I will show you the methods to explore and teach yourself any type of musical style you'd wish to play!

Although being mainly a Jazz violinist, I have performed and recorded in many different musical genres and improvisation styles including Blues, Trad Jazz, Rock, Indian Classical music, Bluegrass, Jewish Klezmer music and more. Since students spend most of their crucial development time individually in the practice room, as a teacher my biggest ambition is to teach my students 'how to be your own teacher' (I know it's kinda shooting myself in the foot :] ). Based on my 20 years experience playing the violin and other instruments, my training in Alexander technique, teaching artistry, psychology, philosophy and meditation, I've accumulated a set of methods and ideas about how to ...

I teach from the earliest beginner through adult. My violin students are currently performing for different schools and ensembles. When students are performing with orchestras, much time is spent working on that music as well as their regular music.
