Best Violin Lessons in South Saint Paul, MN

With a background in both classical and ear training, I teach a highly individualized approach with an emphasis on technique, theory, and sight-reading. My goal is to set a strong foundation in these areas, develop a love for music, and inspire students to reach their full potential. I am confident that any child can learn the basics of an instrument with the right guidance and approach. My experiences as a preschool teacher and elementary music instructor have given me a unique advantage in learning to work with young students and individualize instruction. I look forward to meeting you!

I strongly believe that, if every child would be provided with an ideal environment, would gain extraordinary ability. There are no exceptions. No one can tell how able man is by the nature. What is known is the ability that is spoiled or developed. It cannot be denied that most children speak their native languages beautifully by learning about 3000-4000 words by age 5 or 6. Nothing can clearer demonstrate of the original power of the human mind. Through the years of studying and teaching music I realized that this is the most important concept for developing each kid's talent, to increase his or her ability to the maximum. Therefore I am combining the great methods of teaching violin. The Suzuki method and the Russian school method. Suzuki method helps at the earliest stage of playing an instrument and I am using later Russian school method for more advanced period of studying.
