Sandy, UT Violin Lessons

Learn how to play beautifully with proper technique, scale exercises, and by sight-reading fun music!

I have been teaching violin for over fifty years. I teach using a progressive Suzuki method. I have a unique method of teaching scales using a pattern system which makes scale studies quick and easy to learn in all positions on the violin. I have tutorial videos to go along with your lessons for both Suzuki pieces and scale studies. I teach fiddle and Jazz violin for those who are interested. I also teach on line lessons
I have experience playing in theater, Orchestras, and small ensembles. I am currently playing in the Timpanogos Symphony in Highland Utah. I am also playing in a string quartet.
My students sit in the first chairs in their School Orchestras. I have a good relationship with the School Music Teachers. I always put the school music first and help the student to be comfortable in their surroundings.

Basics of scales and intonation development, reading, bowing basics and fiddle style bowing rhythms, improvising, double-stops

Traditional or Suzuki style curriculum.

Hi :)
I am a professional singer and piano player.
I have a band called Viva Vox and we are very popular in the whole Europe.
Beside that I am a composer, MTV songwriter, professional violin player and I have a bachelor degree in Music Production.

Whether you are a beginner or a professional violinist my Violin Lessons are far from standard ones, because playing violin is so much more than just playing :)

Beside learning the basic steps, we will learn all the playing techniques, we will explore the genre that you are most comfortable with, we will learn how to play in front of the audience and how to master the stage fright, how to play the popular classical music or your favorite songs and how to read sheet music, (in case you don't know how to) because violin and sheet music always goes together :)

I am singing and playing in front of 40 thousand people so let me pass on this amazing experience to you :)

p.s: Always believe in yourself and just follow your dreams.

Since I am relatively young, I think I work really well with kids still in elementary, middle, and high school. I am majoring in Violin Performance in college, and so I am actively still learning to perfect my instrument and will share some of my expertise in my lessons.

I love seeing my students discover and develop their love for the violin as they progress on this beautiful instrument. The violin is difficult! It takes dedication and practice. My goal is to help my students achieve their goals, whether it be getting accepted into Junior High Honor's Orchestra, learning how to play Vivaldi, auditioning for a college music program, or just picking up a new hobby. All levels and all ages welcome.

Expect a half hour of violin basics and learning to read music.

My teaching philosophy is that music is for ALL ages and ALL abilities. I love teaching foremost because of the connection between student and teacher; I have been really blessed to have some wonderful mentors throughout my life, and I value being able to mentor others. I am here as a teacher to see you for your unique set of strengths, interests, and goals.

In college I was a member of the BYU Philharmonic and Chamber Orchestras. I have recorded professionally in the Utah and Salt Lake Counties for the past 7 years, featuring a range of local/national albums, NBA commercials, and network television ...
