Best Violin Lessons in Fall River, MA

I always say to students, it's not WHAT you're playing, it's HOW you're playing it that is the sign of a good player. Technique -- the HOW -- is extremely critical, before one can play pieces -- the WHAT -- well. Lessons with me involve establishing a solid basis of technique, also learning to read music rather than playing only by ear, and of course, learning pieces. Get ready for a wonderful journey of discovery about the intricacies, difficulties, AND rewarding joys of playing the violin!

I have experience in a wide variety of styles and techniques and play both acoustic and 7-string electric violin. I do everything from classical to country to rock and metal. I have been teaching for 15 years and am passionate about helping you develop not only your technique, but your musicianship. I can help you with your classical technique, but also teach you to improvise and learn by ear. I teach all levels of student.

I have taught professionally for 15 years. Evaluating the needs of each individual student, a course of study will be created that will both challenge the

I have been playing both violin and viola for 10 years, and I specialize in any experience level of students.

I look forward to meeting and sharing your musical endeavors!
