Emmaus, PA Violin Lessons

I am a laid back person but I try to make lessons strict because it is better for the students. I am specialized in violin techniques. I will teach you difficult techniques in a very easy and fun way. I believe that every student is different. Therefore, I will not teach every student the same way. All students should come prepared for the lesson.

Students of all skill levels are welcome. I tailor the lesson type to the student rather than use a cookie-cutter approach.

I have been teaching in a variety of settings for the past 12 years. I am an encouraging and structured teacher who wants to help students set and reach their goals! After years of extensive classical musical training, I have developed a refined teaching style that suits students of all ages and backgrounds!

Experienced violin teacher of 39 years available for eager students of all experience levels and ages! I structure my lessons so students learn what they want to learn, while also building a strong foundation of counting, concentration, coordination, precision and note reading skills. I specialize in traditional European method.

I teach beginner and intermediate violin students helping them develop their bow technique and intonation.

I teach all ages and abilities how to play violin and viola, no matter if you have a casual interest, or seek to develop professional skills and advance your musical career.
