    Discover the rich sounds of the viola from an expert teacher with 20 years experience

    Want to play your favorite songs? I will help you establish a strong foundation in viola playing while tailoring to your needs/goals. I believe technique should serve music, so we’ll focus on creating art and telling the story you want to tell. I like to structure each lesson with three principles: scales, etudes, and repertoire. My teaching style is to work at your pace and serve your goals. Each week, II’ll work with you to create a personalized study plan that is engaging, positive, and progress-oriented! Lessons are open to anyone, even if you don’t have a viola yet! I have experience teaching all skill levels from beginner to advanced. All ages welcome! Message me to set up your first lesson!

    About Mara A.

    Hi there! I have taught a variety of classes including elementary orchestra, middle and high school orchestra, piano and I am now focusing on private viola lessons! I have been a violist for 20 years and graduated from the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University. I am currently performing with a few professional chamber and orchestral organizations such as the El Paso Symphony Orchestra, Camerata Del Sol, Classical Music Institute, and most recently, Midland Odessa Symphony Orchestra. Additionally, I am part of an after school organization called Tocando which provides music lessons to students in underprivileged areas in our region.
