    Live Online Viola Lessons

    You have several options available regarding choosing an instructor, I have to assume that you would like to hire the most qualified teacher to guide you through the wonderful world of Viola! ¡Hablo Español! I Teach All Ages, at All Levels: Classical Technique, Jazz, Blues, Rock, Bluegrass, Cajun, Country, Old-Timey, Appalachian, Irish, Scottish, British, Celtic, Folk, Songwriting, Music Theory, Composition, Arranging, Soloing, Improvisation, Latin, Hindustani, Carnatic, and much much more! I have been a professionaal musician all my adult life, teaching thousands of students over a span of more than three decades! I am a published contributor to the #1 best-selling Jazz Theory book "Jazzology" (published by Hal Leonard - the world's largest music publisher), in addition to having almost 20 books published on the subject of theory and technique! I also have many many professional recordings to my credit that you can listen to online anytime! I am the author of the following books: "Scales & Modes for the Violin Fingerboard" (2012) The only scale book you'll ever need! For Violin, Viola, and Cello. Full-color. "Jazz Violin Arpeggios" (2015) Jazz Arpeggios for Violin, Viola, and Cello Triads, 7ths, 9ths through 13ths – with all alterations. Everyone moves further, much faster, and is more likely to stay engaged by learning from a master teacher with decades of real-world professional experience to share. I will give you what you need to know, in order to take you where you want to go! I hope to hear from you soon! Thanks, Jeff

    About Jeff B.

    5.0
    (18)
    People study subjects for a great number of reasons, consequently I customize my lessons to each individual student's needs and wants. We learn different ways. Some of us are more visual, some more tactile, some more intuitive, some more cerebral, etc. Understanding this allows me to adapt to each person's most natural mode of learning so that the material is grasped more easily (therefore more quickly), and so that it is retained longer. I would be honored to share my experience and knowledge with you.
