Best Violin Lessons in Bryn Mawr, PA

All matters will be discussed prior to lesson/In lesson. Please message me about availability.

I have been teaching violin for over 15 years and like to incorporate a mixture of traditional, Suzuki, and contemporary pieces in my lessons. Students will learn to read music as well as play by ear and we'll play a mixture of etudes, solo pieces, duets, and special requests (to shame in admitting you want to learn to play a song from Frozen on the violin!)

Through the lessons I help students on understanding the fundamentals of music theory, creating an ideal sound, musical expression and coordination.
Every student is different. I work with students individually and use different approaches for each one of them. Such as methods, repertoire and lesson skills.
But most important of all, I always make sure that my student does not loose interest and have fun making music!

I have worked with students ages two through adult and have also taught on a college level. I specialize in both Traditional and Suzuki Methods. I hold four degrees in violin performance, have been teaching for over thirteen years, and am a professional violinist with the Philharmonic.

This is my profession.

Violin is my primary instrument I can teach violin students from the very beginning to the college level. I will happily work on any style of violin music with you!

I began playing the violin at the age of 5 and have participated in the Strings International Music Festival as well as the Eastern U.S. Music Camp. Through high school I was a member of the Delaware County Youth Orchestra and took part in district and regional festivals. At Temple University I studied with Helen Kwalwasser and played in the Temple Symphony Orchestra. I have also recorded non-classically on albums with music groups such as Port Arthur, Chet Williams, and Benjamin Poole.

I've been playing violin for 20 years now, & I've been teaching music to children & adults at schools & privately for 5 years. Everyone has a different learning style, & I pride myself on being able to teach many different personalities & students. More than anything, I believe learning should be fun & bring you joy! So to that end, I work to make sure my students have a great time learning, & walk away with new information & skills every lesson. I'd be happy to help you on your musical journey!

We're two sisters who grew up playing violin together. Now we'd like to share our love for the instrument with others in our community. Between us, we have 40 years of playing experience, and we're happy to vary our lessons to interact with all learning styles and ages. We both trained at the School of Music of the University of Northern Colorado, and have learned from some of the best musicians in the region. We look forward to getting to know you!

I am an "out-of-the-box" learner which makes me a teacher who can teach anyone...any level...any style...any age...and I do it with a joy for music. To me, the most important factor for success is PLAYING, not studying. From the first lesson, my students will play beautiful music to inspire their love of the instrument and to create an enthusiasm for learning to play. The best way to learn to play the violin is to play. Sure, scales and studies are important as is technique, but the majority of new violin students will lose interest if they aren't loving the music they make. I have taught Suzuki to 5 year olds...I have taught senior citizens who always wanted to play...and I have taught folks who played in high school but haven't played since then. I also specialize in teaching people with special educational needs and physical challenges. I want everyone to experience the joy that I do when I play.
