Violin

I have been playing the violin for over 29 years. I like to teach beginning, intermediate, and advanced students regardless of their age. I would prefer beginners to take at least one year of piano lessons prior to learning how to the play the violin. This way students can transfer basic music knowledge into violin playing, especially in the field of reading and learning new music. My goal is to help music lovers learn how to teach themselves one day when a music teacher is no longer available.

I started teaching in 2011 while I was completing the Master of Music degree at Rice University. As I finished my Doctor of Musical Arts degree in December 2017, I decided to build and expand my own studio in Burleson, TX.

If you are a beginner under age 10, I strongly recommend you to take in-person lessons. I currently do not accept beginner students under age 10 that would like to sign up for online lessons. 

If you are a parent who is signing up lessons for your child, please indicate the age of your child .

If you are a beginner regardless of age, please sign up for 30 min lessons to begin.

Begun in 1920 as the Texas Band Teachers Association, the Texas Music Educators Association is an organization of over 10,000 school music educators dedicated to promoting excellence in music education. TMEA is comprised of five divisions: Band, Orchestra, Vocal, Elementary and College. On behalf of its members and Texas schoolchildren, TMEA carefully monitors the actions of all state decision-making bodies on issues affecting fine arts instruction in Texas. In addition to many member benefits, TMEA offers professional development opportunities for its members with Region workshops and especially with its annual Clinic/Convention. TMEA supports the future of music education by offering scholarships to music education majors and by sponsoring the Texas Future Music Educators, an organization through which high school students interested in careers in music education learn more about what to expect in their college education and future careers.

Learning a musical instrument should be fun, exciting, and most importantly pain-free.

Wonderful beginner lesson! Ms. Yang knows how to describe everything in great detail and with a wonderful sense of humor. She was very prepared in her lesson structure. I learned so much in my first lesson, but did not feel overwhelmed. The pacing was perfect. I can tell she has lots of experience teaching beginners. I'm looking forward to more lessons!

Chaul did a great job evaluating my daughters level of knowledge on the first lesson.

I have been learning from Chaul for the past two months. She is a very supportive and patient teacher. I was a complete beginner when I first started, but after one to two weeks, I can play easy tunes like Twinkle Twinkle. Whenever I have any questions regarding the violin, she can give me helpful solutions. When I have lessons with her, I can immediately know where I need to improve and gain a few extra tips on violin playing. 

I would highly recommend Chaul to you (people who are browsing on Takelessons)!

Wonderful first lesson. Thank you so much for opening many doors into my violin journey. Your teaching method is just what I need.

Thank you Chaul for a great lesson and also for being so patient with me when my computer didn't log into the session right away.  I enjoyed my first lesson and am excited to have such a fabulous teacher that sent me material and information to prepare for my first session. I feel confident that I will be able to progress and I know that I will enjoy learning with you.  I'm looking forward to my next lesson.

Within a half hour lesson I learned the proper way hold the bow and the chords to pluck for twinkle twinkle little star.  You can feel how excited she is to be teaching someone her passsion.  I'd definately recommend her.
