About Yvonne H.

I introduce children and adults to the wonderful world of music through violin. I teach basic music theory and technique from the beginner lever to the intermediate level.
About Yvonne
We will work together to learn and understand the fundamentals of piano and violin technique and theory at you own pace. No pressure and stress-free instruction.
Along with learning to play an instrument, research shows that you may have improvements in memory, language skills, ability to store audio information, discipline, ability for being attentive and planning, day to day actions such as being alert, motor skills, hearing, emotional perception (pick out exactly what others are feeling just by the tone of their voices; empathy, disappointment, etc.)

*** Lesson Details ***
I am pretty easy going. I want you to feel comfortable and at ease, but we do need to focus and can have fun doing it. :)
I utilize various methods for each instrument, which is determined by the students learning style and ability; needs, so this can change as time goes on (not sticking to one particular publishers materials). I have done (and continue to do) extensive research into materials available for each instrument I teach, and supplement with my own, to utilize the best out there for "YOU" for the best possible progress. While ensuring an extremely well-rounded musical education, so you can progress at the best possible rate. Since each student's potential is different, each will progress differently. This is also determined by your dedication to daily practice (the more you practice, the quicker you will progress & the more accomplished you will become). This is a 'Team Effort'; I give the guidance and tools. You practice, utilize learn these tools, and off we go! The sky is the limit!

About Cameron K.

This is your time to shine, so be as detailed as possible!
About Cameron
I give lessons from my house in north Houston and I sometimes go to students homes depending on location. I teach beginner through advanced violin. As a violin and viola teacher, my goal is to give my students fun and productive lessons. I teach my students all the essential technical and musical principles which help them to succeed at reaching their goals and avoid developing harmful habits along the way. I do not follow an exact method or course. My approach is to teach each student according to his/her particular needs which will usually require a combination of books or methods.
I have had the privilege of learning violin under some of the top violin teachers in the US. Many of my teachers were graduates of Juliard and other top music schools where they studied with some of the most famous violin teachers of the 20th century incl

About Jillian B.
Close
I have been playing violin for 12 years. I started learning classical, then branched out to playing movie scores, then to modern songs. I think playing the violin, or any instrument, should be a fun experience and the student needs to drive what genre they want to perform. If you play something you enjoy, you're more likely to stay with it.
I just finished a year long with playing with a local indie-electronic band where we played the Houston Whatever Fest, Superbowl Live, Lucky's pub block party for St. Patrick's day and more so if you're more of an electric violin person, I can also teach that.
We will start with fundamentals and get you to understand how to read music, along with basic first position fingering, then branch out in to the genre you're interested in. I have been teaching violin for 4 years and have loved every second of it, getting to see something click for a student is a great joy to me, so I really try to set up each of my students up for success.

About Jillian
Hello! My name is Jillian, I have been playing violin for 12 years, about to be 13 here shortly. I am a fun, energetic person who loves watching others succeed. My teaching style really depends on the student, I started teaching back in 2011, and had students from 3 to 50 that obviously needed different methods for learning. I modify every lesson plan specifically to the student, taking in to consideration what genre they like, and where they want to be with proficiency.
I love all genres of music, I started with classical, then branched to rock and popular songs with songs like Carry on my Wayward Son, Stairway to Heaven, Viva La Vida and then to movie scores such as Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Jurassic Park, etc. I am a huge fan of music, and the healing and stress relieving powers it has.
Every student can succeed,

About Brandon G.

I have been playing violin for about 14 years now, and teaching for around 5 years. I teach a variety of styles of violin, from your base classical experience all the way out to celtic fiddle. There is a good balance of music theory mixed in to the lesson as well, enabling the student to not only play the music they're given, but also to understand it at a deeper level.
About Brandon
Hi there! I am a multi-instrumentalist that plays and teaches Violin, Guitar (Acoustic and Electric), Piano, Ukulele and the Mandolin! I play professionally with a band as well as do solo work.
I've played violin for almost 15 years now, and have been teaching for 4 years or so. I have a set curriculum in place that has seen much success in achieving a well rounded player knowledgeable not only in playing, but also in the theory behind the playing.
I've played guitar for 8 or 9 years now and have taught for 4 years as well. I play a range of styles, including but not limited to: acoustic fingerstyle, blues, and heavy metal. I teach stage performance along with guitar to prepare you for anything that might come your way in your playing career!

About Megan
Hey there!! Let's have some fun together learning music!
I started my music journey at 5 yrs old and was classically trained. Although I know mostly classical, I am open to learning anything my student wants. We will cover technique but also remember the passion behind playing such a great instrument. I have been a part of many orchestras, chamber groups, quartets and solo ensembles and would like to help my student get there too!
Lets set goals and conquer them. :)

I teach what you want to learn and at your pace! I also teach improv in case reading music isn't for you! I make sure no matter the age or skill level of my student, they are having fun, learning, and feeling proud of themselves. It's a team effort.
About Frances
Hi, I'm Frances! I have been playing viola since 1989 and teaching off and on since 1998! I started playing violin in 1996, and have been teaching it for almost just as long. I'm originally from Minnesota, but Texas heat is perfect for me. I teach all ages, special needs, and all skill levels. I have experience playing on worship teams for over 10 years. With that experience comes the ability to improvise. That being said, if reading music isn't right for you that's okay! That's what our ears are for! In my lessons, each student is taught more than just the instrument. I teach self discipline, self worth, how to be a team player, and perseverance. Music overall is my passion. It's a language that knows no boundaries, a language we can all speak. It breaks down walls, heals broken hearts, and brings us all together. It's our common ground
