Experience the Artistry of Violin with Ali - A Dedicated Educator and Accomplished Performer
As an experienced violinist and dedicated instructor, I strive to provide my students with a comprehensive and enriching learning experience. Drawing upon my extensive musical education and performance background, here is what students can expect from my lessons:
1. Tailored Instruction: I understand that each student has unique needs and goals. I will assess your current skill level, musical preferences, and aspirations to design a personalized lesson plan that suits you best.
2. Strong Foundation: Building a solid foundation is crucial in violin playing. I will focus on developing proper technique, posture, and bowing control from the very beginning. This ensures a strong technical base to support your musical growth.
3. Musical Expression: Beyond technical mastery, I believe in nurturing your artistic expression. Together, we will explore various musical styles and work on interpreting and conveying emotions through your playing. I will guide you in phrasing, dynamics, and musicality to help you create a captivating performance.
4. Performance Opportunities: I understand the importance of gaining confidence through performing. I will actively seek out opportunities for you to showcase your skills, whether it be in recitals, competitions, or ensemble performances. This will help you grow as a performer and develop stage presence.
5. Comprehensive Training: Alongside violin playing, I emphasize the importance of music theory, ear training, and sight-reading skills. This holistic approach ensures a well-rounded musical education and enhances your overall musicianship.
6. Support and Encouragement: Learning a musical instrument can sometimes be challenging. I will provide a supportive and nurturing environment where you can freely ask questions, share your concerns, and receive constructive feedback. I am committed to your progress and will encourage you to reach your full potential.
By joining my violin lessons, you will embark on a journey of musical discovery, growth, and fulfillment. I am excited to guide you every step of the way and help you develop into a skilled and expressive violinist."

Ali instructed both our children on violin and though we live on the other side of the country now, they still talk about her! She's amazing. Both kids really discovered a joy for music.
