Music Lessons in Johnson City, NY. It's your time.

I'm a violinist of 17 years and I'm a graduate of the Crane School of Music with a Bachelor of Music in Violin Performance. At Crane I studied the principles of Suzuki Teaching and took the "Every Child Can" course.
I believe in providing a nurturing, welcoming, and warm atmosphere in which to foster students on their musical journey!
I started violin at the age of seven after being inspired by concerts my parents took me to when I was younger.

If your a total beginner... I'm gonna suggest you check out my bass page. Bass is fun. I promise, I wouldn't play it if it wasn't.

Really, Like right now.

No?

Well if your still here, alright. Let's get crackin' on the 6 string. If you read my bio, you see I talk about the "waves" of music. We gotta learn how to surf the waves and stick with a band. The flashy solos will come in time, but just like real surfing, you gotta learn to ride the waves created by the bass and drums before you can start doing tricks on it. Once you have a grasp on meter (the pulse of the waves) we can start talking about some music theory and how the flashy solos can be built upon those waves.

Gonna mention the bass page again. They create the waves... its a lot easier to play in the waves when you know how to make them.

If you are so dedicated to rockin the 6-string that your reading this, then read no further. Message me and tell me what it is you want to play, and we will jump right in.

If you are interested in private professional voice lessons to grow as a musician, to become a better performer, for fun or because singing is just something you enjoy, please come see me. I look forward to working with you.
