Best Violin Lessons in Hansen, ID

Have you ever wanted to play violin, but never knew where to start? Do you have trouble learning correct technique, practice strategies, or struggle finding good repertoire to learn? Well, you've come to the right place!

In our first lesson, I will likely ask you to demonstrate your level to me, either by telling me or showing me what you know. I will use this to better understand your strengths and weaknesses and go from there. You can expect to come away from our first lesson with some learning materials, a plan for going forward, and an encouraging start to our journey as musicians together!

Some examples of things students can learn from me include: expanding repertoire, ear training, music reading, improvising, jamming, music theory, and technique.

I have always had a passion for music, and teaching violin and playing violin professionally is my calling in life. In my lessons, I work hard to help students achieve their goals, and I strive to make sure students always have a clear understanding of what they need to work on. I push my students to do their best and reach their full potential, but I also make sure that my students are having fun! My lessons are heavily focused on proper technique and achieving the best possible sound out of the instrument. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Violin Performance from the University of Colorado and I am currently getting my Masters of Music in Violin Performance and Pedagogy from the University of Oregon.

It is so important to learn from a real professional. I am international soloist and pedagogue, having studied with the world's greatest teachers, Ivan Galamian, Dorothy DeLay, Josef Gingold, etc. international violin competitions winner. It is very easy to get faulty instruction at any stage of the development. Mine is of the highest of quality. I can teach from beginner to the most advanced. Have been teaching for 40+ years.

I have played the violin for 20 years and taught violin for 7 years. I use the Suzuki method and the paschal method and then work into concertos and sonatas as students become advanced. During COVID I have found the convenience and success in online teaching. I absolutely love teaching violin and watching students become incredible musicians through hard work and consistency! It has been a great joy in my life!

Lessons are tailored to fit each individual student's ability and goals. I believe in challenging students while maintaining a supportive and encouraging environment. Lessons will cover music theory, technique, and solo pieces. The goal is to develop in each student the specific skills needed to play a string instrument as well as to nurture an understanding and love for music.

Rule No.1, don't practice mistakes!
Not only teaching play the violin, building confidence, teaching efficient solutions, and providing an enjoyable learning process is my first goal as a violin educator.
