Viola Lessons in Laurel. Amazing Teachers.

Viola lessons in English and or Spanish for all levels. Vibrato Technic, Shifting Technic, Bow Technic, Note reading skills, Intonation, recital preparation, etc...

Whether you want to play classical viola, alto fiddle traditional tunes, or perform like your favorite pop artists, I can set you on the path to success! My private students range in age from 4 to 40 years old, and I have gone on to become music teachers, composers, and professional musicians. My most influential teachers have been members of The Philadelphia Orchestra and graduates of The Curtis Institute of Music.

I'm a dedicated teacher and spend extra time outside of lessons thinking about how to best approach the following lesson. I find the style of teaching that works best for the student. I write plans after lessons and email or give them in person summarizing the lesson's key points to help make practicing at home easier and more organized in order to make lesson time as effective overall as possible.

I offer viola lessons at my home in Eldersburg, and welcome prospective student inquiries from all ages and levels of experience. As a teacher, I recognize that each of my students follows their own path toward their musical development and personal fulfillment, and I am highly invested in guiding them every step of the way with care and expertise. Above all, my goal is to inspire within my students a personal love for music that they can carry with them well beyond our lessons, and ultimately into a more fulfilling life. To that end, I develop an individualized curriculum for each of my students catered to their own abilities and personalities, ensuring the most effective learning possible.

I hope to hear from you soon, and to help you along your viola journey!

Are wondering why every time you hit a certain note, it squeaks, or crunches, or sounds glassy? Or maybe you can't quite read the notes. Perhaps you are no stranger to the instrument, but need improvement of musicianship, expression, etc. Let me help you master the skills you're trying to achieve. With my help, you can make breathtaking music!

My teaching always begins with the fundamental concepts of violin playing. These include; familiarization with the instrument and terms associated, posture, basic theory and note reading, and rhythmic and pitch related exercises. After a student becomes confident with these basic concepts, we will cater a course towards a student's particular goals.
