Feb, 2009 - PresentPrivate Tutor
I have been a private violin and viola instructor for over 12 years, working with students ages 5 and up in a group or 1 on 1 setting. My teaching experience ranges from very beginners all the way up to advanced, covering any genre of music. Given my background not only as a classically trained musician, but also a veteran gig worker playing many different styles, I have been helping students achieve their musical goals regardless of their genre of preference.
