Violin with Joy S.

When I was a little girl… Music was the language of my home. I learned to sing before I could speak and understood sound and rhythm through the clanking keys of the piano. Violin quickly made its entrance and carried me through college, launching me into a career in music & education. I kept this childlike love of learning in a special place in my heart. And I want to share this magic of music with your child. As my student, your child can expect to have structured, personalized lessons with clear expectations, practice goals, and desired outcomes. I use tested teaching techniques such as the Suzuki Method and Faber to help train the student’s ear as well as ensure that they learn to read music fluently. But more than that, your child will learn expression, character, and discipline through our time together that will encourage growth and learning in other areas of their lives. I will cater each lesson to the child’s needs, stay creative, and create a balance of spontaneity and structure that will engage the child and instill in them a passion and joy for music.
