Join me in learning some popular songs! This class is for musicians who have played violin or viola for at least **one year**. If your musician is a beginner or if you have questions about taking a class with me, please reach out. Musicians signing up for this class should be familiar with reading music, playing in 1st position, and have an instrument and bow in working condition Over the next 4 weeks, we will learn 4 familiar songs. We will review the key/scale required for each week, and go over any new or unfamiliar rhythms and notes before learning the song. Musicians will receive the music before each club meeting that can be printed or viewed on another device. Music Club: Week 1: Over The Rainbow Week 2: Firework Week 3: I See The Light Week 4: Shake It Off Please make sure each musician has their instrument tuned before we begin class, as we will not have time to individually tune during our time together. If you have questions about this or need assistance, please let me know.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Arizona Teaching Certificate in Music/Theater/Arts
I teach individual, customized, viola or violin lessons. For as long as I can remember, music has been part of my life and I love sharing it with others!
I attended the University of Arizona and earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Music Education with a Minor in Psychology. I taught for 10 years as a public school orchestra teacher in Arizona. During my time in various districts, the young musicians I worked with earned Superior Ratings at state festivals. I also had the privilege to conduct the 6th Grade Honor Orchestra as part of the Southern AZ Elementary/Junior High School Honor Orchestra Festival in 2018.
I am a proponent for collaborative efforts and person-centered learning. Every person has a voice and I believe that can be best expressed through music. Learners do best when there is a sense of mutual respect, a safe space, and an interest in them as an individual.
As a performer, I enjoy playing in various small group endeavors on viola and violin, and I love playing at weddings.
When I am not making music, I enjoy hiking, traveling, going to concerts, and eating delicious food.
