Hi everyone! I'm passionate about introducing young minds to the magic of violin through engaging, personalized lessons designed for beginners. As an experienced youth violin instructor, I create a warm, supportive environment where your child can explore music at their own pace, building confidence alongside their musical skills. Whether your child dreams of joining the school orchestra or simply loves the violin, I'll guide them through a structured yet enjoyable learning journey.

What Makes My Lessons Different
• Personalized teaching approach combining traditional techniques with fun, interactive activities
• Age-appropriate methods that keep young learners excited and motivated
• Supportive environment where every achievement is celebrated
• Regular feedback to help parents understand their child's progress

What You Can Expect
• Engaging lessons tailored to your child's learning style
• Clear, structured progression while keeping lessons flexible and fun
• Integration of favorite songs alongside fundamental skills
• Regular opportunities to showcase new abilities through informal performances

Your Child's Journey
• Build confidence and proper technique from day one
• Develop music reading skills through engaging activities
• Experience the joy of playing complete pieces sooner than expected
• Cultivate a lasting enthusiasm for music that extends beyond lessons

Join me in making music education a delightful experience! Together, we'll create a strong foundation for your child's musical journey while ensuring they genuinely enjoy every step of the learning process.

Learning Goals

Our lessons will provide a supportive, creative space for students to discover the joy of making music. Whether you're new to the instrument or continuing your studies, my goal is to foster your love of violin through tailored instruction and a strengths-based approach.

Specifically, by the end of our lessons students will:

👉Develop proper bow hold, posture and fingering technique through mirrored practice and gentle feedback.

👉Build reading skills by learning basic note names and rhythmic patterns.

👉Experience the satisfaction of playing full songs using their growing techniques.

👉Gain confidence performing for others in a non-judgmental environment.

Most of all, I hope you'll walk away feeling empowered in your ability to express yourself musically. My hope is that the violin brings you years of enrichment - both in technical skill and personal fulfillment. Let's get started!

Welcome! I'm Sola, a violinist dedicated to sharing the transformative power of music. Whether you're picking up the violin for the first time or seeking to advance your skills, I create a personalized learning journey that combines technical mastery with musical discovery.

My goal is to nurture each student's unique musical journey through personalized instruction that builds strong technical foundations while fostering creativity and joy in music-making. Parents can expect structured lessons that combine traditional methods with engaging activities, regular progress updates, and a supportive environment that encourages consistent practice and musical growth.

Credentials:
- ARCT in Violin Education (Royal Conservatory of Music) under Dr. Jin Youn
- Level 10 RCM Certification with First-Class Honours
- Former North American Symphony Orchestra Performer
- 8+ Years Professional Performance Experience
- Trained under Vancouver Symphony Orchestra's Mary Sokol Brown

My journey began at age nine under the mentorship of Mary Sokol Brown of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra. Through her guidance, I developed a versatile repertoire spanning Celtic, Classical, Romantic, and Baroque traditions. My training combines the ear-based Suzuki method with classical conservatory education—I hold a Level 10 Royal Conservatory of Music certification with first-class honours and an ARCT in violin education under Dr. Jin Youn.

As a former symphony orchestra performer with eight years of experience across North America, I bring both technical expertise and performance insight to my teaching. My approach balances structured practice with creative exploration, helping students build not just skills, but a lasting connection with music. Together, we'll develop your unique musical voice while cultivating the joy that makes practice purposeful and performances meaningful.
