Violin with Lisa G.

I am a Colorado Native with a Music Degree from the University of Denver. I started playing the violin in elementary school and never stopped! I picked up the Viola in college. I enjoy playing that as well. I have been teaching group classes for the Cherry Creek School district for over 10 years and love that. I have been teaching private lessons for over 10 years as well. Both are challenging in very different ways. I enjoy watching my students learn and grow through music. I love playing with an orchestra and playing with a quartet. I've played with several different local groups over the years. *** Lesson Details *** I do not offer one size fits all lessons. I tailor my lessons to fit the needs and goals of each individual student. I use a variety of different method books based on the musical background of each student. You can expect that I will ask a bunch of questions at the beginning of your lessons, and I will try a bunch of things at first. And then will make a decision based on what I think will be the best fit. I like to utilize what technology has to offer, and I have a keyboard and a computer available at every lesson. I use them for ear training and listening activities. I like to make sure that music is fun, however I will expect that students are doing the work at home, so at home practice is expected. *** Studio Equipment *** Living room w/ violin, piano, keyboard, music stands, and seating for parents. Please note that I do have a dog in the home, please let me know if you have allergies. *** Specialties *** I teach beginning and intermediate violin. I teach a classic style.
