Whether you're 3 or 103, if you're playing violin (or starting to play!) I hope you're EXCITED about it!! Over the years, my students have said that their lessons are/have been their favorite times of each week. I believe learning to play viola should be full of joy, learning, thinking, and feeling. Bring that joy alive for yourself by partnering with me as your musical guide. I bring over 30 years of experience and pure joy to my work, and I'd love to share that with you!

Lessons are fun. My philosophy is that students should have music in their lives and benefit from the lessons they take now for years to come. Learning to play a musical instrument will help students with math skills, study habits, and develop a skill that will last for a lifetime.
After 3 months students will understand the fundamentals of their string instrument, know how to care for their instrument, warm up properly, be able to read and play introductory passages. After 6 months the student will have learned basic music theory, how to read music, and have advanced through playing multiple songs.

Please see my main profile for info about my experience.
Violin is a tough instrument. I am happy to take on children/young adults with dedicated parents behind them. Adult beginners, read on.
I have an emphasis on reading and technique. I have a lot of experience doing private lessons as well as lots of experience as an orchestra teacher.
My biggest goals for violin students is to check for bad habits and nip them in the bud. Bad habits on violin can do massive damage later-so I really make sure to address them immediately.
I'd say the vibe of my lessons are like being with a fitness coach. I want you to get your money's worth-so I give a lot of feedback and advice. I like to text homework to students or student's parents at the end of the lesson.
I am used to working with children and teens so I tend to focus on pacing in the lesson to maintain the student's concentration.
I take this approach with adults as well! The first time it can come off as a little ...

Hear From TakeLessons Violin Students
Over the past 12 years, we've given over 3,000,000 lessons to happy customers around the world.
My 10 year old boy/girl twins have had lessons with Miss. Ilona for several months. Miss. Ilona, who is classically trained, not only keeps a nice balance between theory and performance, but also accommodates my twins' interests in contemporary music by helping them with their Spring Choral Concert music.
Every teacher has a point of view, personal preferences, and methodological bias that may fit one child but may not fit another child as well. Miss. Ilona, however, constantly leaves her doors open to communicate and listen, and make an effort to understand how my twins feel about the lesson material. She constantly adapts the material and tries new approaches to make them better violinists.
What I like most about Miss. Ilona is that she is willing to provide her students with opportunities to participate in Fund Raising and charity events by donating their musical talents. This allows her students to give back to the community what they have learned. On April 17, 2015 my twins performed at Theosophical Society Fund Raising at Deerfield Beach. On May 30, 2015, they performed at Children’s Oasis International Fund Raising to "enable today youth be tomorrow's leaders” in Africa.
After those events, my son wrote in his essay, “What matters to me most is to make people happy by doing what I enjoy doing…… While we played, the audience was very happy and cheered us after each song. It really made us feel so good…… After the performance, many people came to us and thanked us to play music for them. It really made us feel appreciated and so special. When I hear people saying they raised a lot more money thanks to us, I feel so blessed. I am proud that I can make difference by doing what I enjoy doing……special thanks to my violin teacher, Miss. Ilona and my twin sister."
As Hillary Clinton said, "...it takes a village to raise a child (the traditional African proverb)" during her own presidential compaign during 2007, it seems to Miss. Ilona, raising a musical child is a collaborative business, a business that the teacher, the student and the parents have to run together in order to be successful. Collaborative decision making with a child requires a willingness to listen, negotiate and compromise. As Jessica Turner (music educator) argues music instructors know about teaching music, but when it comes to your child and how s/he learns, we parents are the expert. As an educator myself, I appreciate that Miss. Ilona lets me work together with her to ensure the fit and quality of my twins musical instruction. I feel fortunate that we have found such a great instructor for my twins!"
- she was patient when I didn’t understand something
-she was good at explaining “how to” do different things throughout the lesson that I could understand
-she was overall really nice"
He’s knowledgeable,professional and friendly!
I appreciated it that he gives us very practical advice until for next time.
He’s playing violin model for us,it’s really gracious,you’ll see!!
Actually,he can speak Japanese,too!
If there’s parent who would want to communicate with teacher in Japanese,it would be really helpful for you!"

Why Take Violin Lessons?
Although there are plenty of online resources for learning the violin, nothing replaces having a teacher. Everyone approaches the instrument in their own unique way, and personalized instruction is critical to making the most out of practice time.
Our violin teachers work with students of all ages: kids, teenagers, adults, and even seniors. Your tutor can teach you violin bowing techniques, fingering exercises, violin theory, and about different types and body parts of violins, so that you can maximize your learning experience.
If you’re the parent of a budding musician, online violin lessons make it possible to get the benefits of music lessons right from the comfort of your home. Online lessons make scheduling more flexible, and there’s no need to drive to the teacher’s studio!
Even if your child has no interest in becoming the next Paganini, violin lessons can help him or her learn good study habits, and even boost performance in the classroom. In addition, playing with other musicians can help develop social skills and confidence in a fun and supportive way.
With every lesson, you or your child will discover more freedom and expression on the instrument. You’re just a click away from connecting with a world-class violin instructor!

Selecting a violin bow, much like choosing a guitar, can be a very subjective process. To the uninitiated, it's "just a violin bow." They're all the same, right? Wrong. To the seasoned violinist, the perfect bow will depend on the player's technique, playing style and overall personal preference. There are several factors that can affect the sound of the bow on the strings, including strength, shape, and age of the bow. Most beginner violins come with bows that are perfectly fine, b …
