Class Experience

These private lessons are the perfect opportunity to get you started on the violin, get the help you need to learn a new song, or if you've been playing for a while, work on technique to get you to that next level! These lessons are 45 minutes long, which is ideal for students who like to dive deep into the material or who already have some experience playing the violin.

Topics and skills covered can include (depending on student's level): instrument care, proper violin and bow hold, techniques and troubleshooting for producing a good tone, left-hand fingering technique, playing music by rote or by ear, reading music, music theory, bowings and articulations (including legato, staccato, portato, spiccato, etc.), vibrato, shifting and playing in higher positions, double stops, performance preparation, and audition preparation. These one-on-one lessons are completely customized to the learner, so if you have a specific goal in mind, please let me know in a message or in the classroom after you've enrolled. 

I look forward to helping you reach your goals! You are welcome to book just one lesson and we'll cover your most immediate goals, or schedule more lessons to reach longer-term goals.

Other Details

Supply List
Learners will need their own violin and bow in good working condition in the correct size (if between sizes, it is best to go with the smaller size), rosin, a shoulder rest or foam pad (optional but highly recommended), tuner (free apps will work for this!), and assigned music (to be determined in lessons). 
If your learner does not already have an instrument, please feel free to contact me - I am more than happy to provide information about finding a good quality violin for your learner!
The student or an adult should tune the violin before class to help maximize our class time. If you have never tuned a violin before, I am able to provide a video in the classroom to help you get started.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Music from California State University Northridge
I teach violin, viola, general music, and music theory - sometimes all at once! 

I have been playing the violin for 30 years and teaching music for over 20 years. I learned how to play a variety of other instruments in college through my college studies, and I received my B.A. in music education in 2003. Right after that, I taught elementary school orchestras in Los Angeles for four years. Since then, I have been teaching violin and viola, mostly as private lessons but I love getting students together in groups, too!

I love music, of course, but I love teaching even more. If I wasn't teaching music, I would teach something else - anything else! - because there's no greater reward than watching those "aha" moments and making learning a joyful experience. However, I think teaching music is probably the most rewarding career that exists because there are so many benefits to studying music, and I get be a part of helping students grow in all those ways.

If I'm not teaching or practicing, there's a good chance I'm thinking about some chocolate or ice cream...or better yet, ice cream with chocolate in it! But I stay very busy between my husband, son, two crazy dogs, and one not-too-crazy cat, so there usually isn't much time left in my day to eat that chocolate ice cream!
