Roseville, MI Violin Lessons

I have been teaching violin boht in the schools and privately for over ten years. I take both beginners and intermediate students. I ask that they are able to read well as reading music can be very difficult to a new student.
I use the books String Builder Book 1 for Violin and Strictly Strings Book 1 for Violin, and Music Ace Deluxe which is a fun way to learn their music theory on the computer.
The students will learn their lines and spaces for both the Treble Clef and Bass Clef as well as the note values in their first few lessons as well as the fingering for ope n and closed strings.
I ask that the students practice everyday except the day of their lesson for only 15 minutes as their fingers are not use to it yet. Once they have been playing for awhile then I ask that they start practicing a little longer each day.

Experienced Violin teacher of 30 years available for eager students aged 2 through adult! I teach using the Suzuki Violin Method through book five and am certified in books one and two. I structure the lessons around each student so that they are taught at their level and speed while encouraging and challenging them to excel further.

Violin for beginners. Suzuki book 1 is required. Weekly lessons required.

I teach from the Suzuki and Essential Elements violin books.

I was a Texas All-State violinist during high school (state-wide competition).

I have experience playing in high school, university, and community orchestras.

I have taught multiple students violin from the beginning stages. They have advanced through the Suzuki books and have been able to audition and attend Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp or audition for orchestral groups.

I keep things simple, fun and student-based.

Professional violinist, available for eager students of all experience levels and ages! I structure my lessons so students learn fast, while also building a strong foundation of mastering all violin skills. I specialize in classic style, typically use Strictly strings books for beginners combine with Suzuki books, Wholfhart etc for intermediate, Kreutzier, concertos for advanced.
My students are the best wherever school they go to, first chairs in orchestras. Let's get started !!!

I instill in my students a love for music and for their violin. For beginners I start by getting them comfortable holding their violin. Then they learn basic right and left hand movements concentrating on one hand at a time at first in order to play some simple songs. After that I introduce easy note reading skills always keeping in mind the student's progress.

As my students progress there will be many new techniques to learn in the songs they play. I verbally explain each technique, demonstrate it on my violin, and "send them home" with exercises specifically tailored to help make their playing even more enjoyable. I also send them or their parents an email each week with all their assignments. They really appreciate that.

Having performed professionally for eight years, I am excited to teach fiddle in a relaxed, fun atmosphere. All ages are welcome! Emphasis is put on the student's specific needs, desired outcome, as well as pace. I have infinite patience and like to be thorough. Can't wait to meet you!
