Best Violin Lessons in Brentwood, MD

I do a variety of styles in music for the violin. I use whatever method (book or teaching style) is needed to teach what the student needs to learn. I have been teaching violin for 25 years. Depending on age, we will start in either Essential Elements or Suzuki. All beginners will start the bow after they can read the first 8 notes. All intermediates will be able to play 2 octave scales from 3 sharps to 3 flats as well as well into Wolfhart book 1. They will also be able to shift into third position cleanly and will be starting on vibrato. For Advanced players, we will be working on Concertos, sonatas, and partitas if they wish to go classical. IF they wish other styles, we will have started that in intermediate. All students will have an opportunity to go through the music development program, if they are interested.

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.

For my Intermediate violin students, we refresh our memory of the fundamentals of music theory such as how to read violin music, rhythm and key signatures.

Hey there! My name is Carly. I recently graduated from the University of Maryland with a duel degree in Environmental Science and Sociology. I've played the violin since I was six years old. I've been apart of several groups ranging from classical, hip hop, rock and musical theater.
I'm looking to help less experienced string players find their voice through music. I may not be the concert master of the BSO, but I am incredibly passionate about teaching my students. I believe I differ from other teachers because I base my lessons around the student's preferred learning method and personal goals. My ultimate goal for my students is to teach them self expression. Self expression is healing, incredibly useful, and fuels us with energy and creative thought. I often try to incorporate pieces my students are interested in learning because I believe this is the key to regular (and enjoyable) practice.

As a private music instructor for more than five years, I am passionate about creating a teaching environment that is uniquely suited for each student’s needs. I teach violin and viola lessons and have experience in traditional/modern classical violin and viola, historical performance (baroque violin and viola, renaissance and medieval fiddling, etc.), and have dabbled in folk, bluegrass, jazz and Irish fiddle tunes as well. I'm happy to teach people of all ages and all levels of experience. I received my Bachelor of Music degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and studied viola performance and pedagogy at the Peabody Institute before completing my Master’s in Baroque viola. I am currently working on a Graduate Performance Diploma in Baroque violin at Peabody.
