About Vivian L.
Hello and welcome to my TakeLessons profile! My name is Vivian and I have been teaching private lessons on various instruments since 2013. I have also been teaching professionally in public schools since 2015. I play several instruments including Ukulele, French Horn, Trumpet, Clarinet, Trombone, Flute and I also love to sing! In 2015 I graduated with honors from East Carolina University, earning my Bachelor's Degree in Music Education.
My students can expect to see improvement week to week in their playing technique. Every musician learns at their own pace, and I will treat you as the individual that you are. I can help any beginner no matter what sort of musical experience they bring to the table! There is no greater joy for me than seeing a student smile and shine when they master a new note, song, or technique. It is those precious lightbulb moments that made me fall in love with teaching!

My son Franklin and I love the experience he had by having Ms. Lewis as his clarinet instructor, in a very short time he went from not knowing anything about the instrument to making to the the county competition but unfortunately it was canceled due to COVID-19. I do absolutely recommend her! She is very professional, kind, and cares about her students!!

Vivian is the absolute BEST. She is so full of patience, kindness, laughter, and talent! I could not have chosen a better instructor for my daughter. Vivian goes above and beyond all expectations, every time. I am consistently impressed with both of them. Her passion for teaching shines through every lesson! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Vivian has been a wonderful ukulele teacher for my 8 year old daughter. She looks forward to her lessons. Vivian has a great rapport with her and is moving at just the right pace.

Vivian has been awesome for my 13 year old who is learningthe flute. I was worried because she was getting started so late but, I was amazed by how quickly she was able to pick up on how to read music! Vivian always provides me with details of the lesson and what my daughter should work on for the next session. My daughter loves her online lessons and I love how convenient they are for our hectic family life. If I every decide to learn an instrument, I know exactly where I'm going!

My 12 year old daughter has taken several lessons taught by Vivian and has benefited greatly from those lessons. Vivian has been patient, encouraging and committed to helping her to not only learn the fundamentals but to guide her to grow in her knowledge of music theory and practicality of music making. My daughter's interest in music, and more broadly, her sense of the value of dedication and discipline have been positively impacted from being taught by Vivian. I unequivocally recommend Vivian as an able, skilled and goal oriented instructor,

My son says that she’s very encouraging, and he feels like she really wants to teach him. From a parents perspective Vivian is very positive and so far seems to be the right teacher for my son.
