Best Violin Lessons in Leawood, KS

I began playing the violin 14 years ago and have been teaching it for 12 years. I start beginning violin students from the book "Essential Elements". Once the basic foundations are laid out we move on to scale, etude, and solo books.

I started playing violin at 3 years old. Wichita State University gave me the opportunity to get my Music Ed degree and start teaching lessons. I have taken over 500 lessons myself and played in many heavy gigging bands playing gigs almost every weekend. Improvising, Country, Jazz, and Rock are my specialties but I have played lots of Blues, Funk, and Latin jazz as well.

When it comes to violin I use both book and audio. I want to help my students learn to not only read the music but to also hear and feel it. I have been teaching this way for the last few years and found that my students have a deeper understanding of the music by learning the see with their ears. Each student is tasked with coming up with goals that they want to reach, goals their parents would like for them to reach and from there a personalized path for learning is created and followed.

Violin lessons for all levels, from starters to last conservatory years or masterclasses, international experience in regular teaching (and playing of course) and assistant prestigious Professors, also around Europe, Russian school.

I love taking the time to get to know each student on an individual level, and finding what gets them excited about making music. With over ten years of experience teaching students ages five through adulthood, I know each person learns differently and has different goals. I will work with you to come up with achievable goals, while also pushing you to discover how to play in a way unique to you!
