Private, one-on-one violin lessons for absolute beginners all the way through intermediate and advanced levels, customized completely to the learner.
Class experience
Whether you've brand new to the violin or you've been playing for years, this class will help you get where you want to go with your violin! All lessons and the pacing of learning new skills and music are completely customized to the learner. For brand-new beginners, I normally teach with a Suzuki-blended approach (using Suzuki Violin School books and methods), but I also have experience teaching with other method books, including All For Strings, Essential Elements for Strings, and A Tune A...
Homework Offered
Learners are expected to practice outside of class time. Beginners should aim for practicing 5-10 minutes each day, and as students advance their daily practice times can increase. Practice is most effective when it is spread out over the week (ideally 4-6 days each week) in shorter sessions, rather than only practicing once or twice for a longer time.1 - 2 hours per week outside of class

Grades Offered
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.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
