Best Violin Lessons in Hingham, WI

I believe fluency in music is every human’s right. I have spent the majority of my career teaching and learning about teaching!

“Music and language define us as human.” -Dr. Ani Patel, Music, Language, and the Brain

In lessons I seek to inspire students with the love of playing, of the process of learning to play, and the skills to make playing easy and enjoyable.

I have spent my 20 year long career teaching hundreds of students. I believe music is a tool we use to express our unique selves, and I teach accordingly to give students the tools they need to play from their hearts.

I teach a variety of styles including classical, jazz, fiddle, and creative musicianship.

I was educated at Trinity College of Music, London, and Manhattan School of Music, NYC.

I have 20 years of teaching experience, teaching all ages and levels age 2 through adult.

I hold teaching certifications in the Suzuki Method, Music Together, Dalcroze Eurythmics, the O’Connor Method, the Paul Rolland Method,

I have found that the classical music world can often fall into the trap of being stuffy, competitive, and intimidating. The professional scene can sometimes lose sight of what's really important (that music is supposed to be fun and enjoyable!) and unfortunately drive some people away from this divine art form. Music is everything and everywhere - it is the most intimate, intuitive and beautiful language that transcends the oral and written word. I do emphasize proper technique in lessons, but I do not lose sight of this truth and try my best to keep my students motivated and inspired. With all that being said, I can go at whatever pace the student wishes. I can provide a low pressure, light hearted environment. I am also capable of placing focus on refining proper violin/viola technique - this creates the best results and faster progress. At the end of each lesson, I give clear instructions on how to productively practice at home.

Experienced violin teacher for over 10 years working with beginner and intermediate students. All ages are welcome, including adults! I earned by Bachelors Degree in Music from the University of Connecticut and Masters in Teaching from Sacred Heart University. I have been teaching K-5 General Music for the past 5 years in Orange and Seminole County schools. Private violin lessons are customized based on student ability and experience. We will focus on proper technique, posture, and note reading while playing a variety of music and reaching your personal musical goals!

My goal as a teacher is to provide consistent and positive learning opportunities for each student by:
1. Developing a well-balanced lesson plan that benefits the student.
2. Provide performance opportunities.
3. Encouraging regular practice.
4. Communicating progress with the parent and student.

I have taught violin professionally for 5+ years. I specialize in private lessons to students of all ages and abilities, from beginner to advanced levels. I create personalized lesson plans for each student and include note reading, instrument technique, sight reading, music theory, ear training, and repertoire to provide a well-rounded music education.

My goal is that my students will be well-rounded musicians who have FUN in the music-learning and music-making process!
