Eden Prairie, MN Viola Lessons

Working on all aspects of viola technique depending on a level - correct posture, development of a beautiful tone, great technique. and enjoyment of playing.

This is my profession.

I'm willing to teach all levels of students. I will personalize my teaching plan to suit each individual student.

I've been teaching viola since 2010. Professionally, I play a five string violin at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival. For beginners I like Essential Elements or String Basics method, for intermediate students Strictly Strings or All For Strings method. I supplement both levels with the Suzuki method series, as the pieces are longer and more fun. I have successfully prepared several students for auditions with the Greater Twin Cities Youth Symphonies.

Viola is a great underrated instrument. I'd be happy to teach any level or age and help you to learn this great instrument.

I have been teaching viola since 2008. I have performed on movie soundtracks and was a guest soloist with Hamline University Orchestra. I am certified in Suzuki Method and also teach traditional lessons. I've worked with students age 4 to adult.

You are never too old to begin! I've worked with beginners of all ages.

Playing viola is about so much more than just classical music and scales! Although we love scales. Scales are how we show off how fast we can play. In addition to solid fundamentals of technique and musicality, I teach a broad range of styles including folk/fiddle, pop, and movie and video game scores. You'll get to learn the music that YOU want to play!

Whether you're a beginner looking to explore a new instrument, or a young professional preparing for an orchestral or college audition, I'm eager to share my passion of music with you. Throughout my teaching career, I have been successful at helping students bring out the very best they can offer. I'm strict and have very high expectations, but I have been also praised for being encouraging and supportive. I strongly believe in the power of music, and the many benefits of learning a musical instrument.
